OUR FOREIGN TRADE. 
have now so perfected the system of sending plants and seeds into the most remote 
parts of the world that success is no longer an uncertainty. 
AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, INDIA, AND CHINA. 
* S there any difficulty in getting plants and seeds out alive and in good condition to the most 
distant parts? No, none whatever. We have exported thousands of cases with far more 
success and less expense to those furthermost parts than has ever been done before. The 
main thing to ensure success is to let us have the order early, giving ns time to prepare the plants, 
and to send at the exact and best time, and in all cases the way of packing had better be left entirely 
in our hands. Our post system for most things is certainly preferable, but such as Azaleas, Camellias, 
Fruit Trees, &c., should be left to us. Chrysanthemums we grow many thousands, especially for 
foreign trade ; and there is hardly a show but wbat the plants that we have sent out are not figuring 
most prominently. 
IMI>ROYEI> PLANTS. 
Nothing is hailed with more joy by all lovers of Floriculture than gradual and marked improve- 
ment in onr Florists’ Flowers from year to year. Changes without attractiveness are of little or no 
value ; new colours and stout dwarf growth are qualities immediately sought for. We should be 
glad to hear from any amateurs or gardeners having new and improved varieties of plants (also 
\ egetables, see Seed Catalogue) enumerated in our Floral Guide ; they must be a decided advance 
on all existing kinds. 
Asu'tilons. 
. Jrj^lO grow them they only require the ordinary cultivation of the F uchsia, and if placed in a little 
heat early they will produce innumerable quantities of bell-shaped flowers, of beautiful and 
(SjmIS various colours. For baskets, vases, button-holes, and decorations, they are most valuable. 
They continue to bloom in an ordinary greenhouse all the winter, and if planted out in May they 
will form one of the most continuous flowering shrubs until the frost comes, when they can be 
easily lifted or propagated by cuttings taken from the hard w'ood early in September, and struck in 
a mild bottom heat.
