Japanese varieties will stand more heat without being materially injured — in fact, some of them almost 
require the assistance of a little heat to bring out the large hard buds. 
The cutting-down system is engaging considerable attention this year amongst growers, and much 
diversity of opinion prevails regarding the practice. It certainly is quite opposite to previous practice, 
but I am perfectly satisfied with the result, for by its aid I attained the object at which 1 aimed. If 
I had not adopted it 1 certainly should not have had such a display in the conservatory under my 
charge as I now have. The “cut downs ” are far less trouble than tall plants, and give less cause for 
anxiety in windy weather ; but, as already stated, it is necessary to grow some tall plains even for 
grouping, to raise up the bank of flowers to the required height. But for substance and heavy blooms 
tor the exhibition board only there is nothing like the old system, provided you work your buds rightly 
and have them at the proper season. Early buds, as a rule, are too strong and coarse, and later buds 
swell more freely and kindly, and bring the best shaped flowers. — C. Orchard, Kingston-on-Thames.
