Figs. 
Figs will grow in almost any soil, but if it be too rich they produce much wood and very littl? 
fruit. Exuberance of growth can best be restrained by limiting their rooting area, and making the 
soil firm. They require a consideraf)le amount of moisture when the fruit is swelling. Good drain- 
age IS also essential, chalk being one of the best things to use for this purpose where it can be pro- 
cured, and failing this brick rubbish. In all cases lime ought to enter into the composition of 
the soil or compost in which they are grown. When grown against walls thev shoidd be trained 
horizontally ; this checks their luxuriant growth, and assists the wood to ripen' as unless the wood 
is thoroughly ripened they will not bear fruit. The knife, as a rule, shoukl be used very sparingly 
on the ripened wood, though, of course, exhausted or useless branches should be removed as soon 
after the fall of the leaf as possible. They may be grown out of doors in gardens near the sea, in 
warm localities, and under favourable conditions oji a South wall. " Brown Turkey,” “ White 
Marseilles ’’ and " White Ischia,” are best for out-door eiiUivalion, tbe“remaimier are mosi suitable 
for pot culture or planting out under glass.

The system of issuing a separate list for Oalilias, Indoor Plants. Herbaceous and .Alpine 
Plants, Bedding Plants, and Sundries, tried last Spring, has, we are informed, been found 
more convenient to the majority of our customers, than the large list embracing alt the plants 
bought in Spring. We find it is more costly for printing and postage, but being anxious to 
issue the lists in the most generally acceptable form, we are following the same system this 
Spring. We should like to know from our customers generally, their opinions and also 
welcome suggestions to improve the catalogues and make them more generally useful. It 
may be of interest to mention that we issue about 175,000 copies of our various lists, yearly, 
at a cost of about £1,000 for printing alone. ‘ In addition to this, we pay postage on all lists 
.sent out.
