Though I may not have add;d much to the stock of scientific in - 
fonnation, by this communication, T hope I shall be fortunate as to 
Induce many pei»sons to proseciltfe experiments upon subjects which 
ma}' afford much pleasure and rational enjoyment; and perhaps, 
lead to discoveries of great and permanent utilit}^

As Floriculture is so much patronized by the ladies, I feend a little 
communication, which I hope may be of some use to your fair read- 
ers in particular ; the method is not new, but as it is generally con- 
sidered, that the tree mignonette is a different species from the com- 
mon, I beg to say it is not, as there is not one distinguishing mark 
between them; all that i^iieeesskiyiiV-farming the tree mignonette 
is, that there should be about ai'iKivd^bi^'isand mixed with the soil in 
the pots. ■' ^i^'^^'^f -"^^'t ■ 
'' In the month of March, sow a few seeds of the Reseda odorata or 
common mignonette, in pots of five inches width by seven deep, 
filled with rich sandy loam ; place them in a melon or cucumber 
frame where there is a good moist heat ; when they have made about 
four leaves, pull out all but one sti'ong plant in each pot, as it grows, 
''^pick off all the side shoots, leaving the leaf at the bottom of each 
^'shbot to carry nourishment to the stem. When the plant is drawn 
"up by plenty of heat and moisture to the height of about eleven 
inches, it will shew its blossom, which must be nipped off: leave it 
about a week longer in the melon frame, taking care to nip off all 
^ side shoots, then remove it into the gi'een -house, wliere it should 
have less water, but plenty of air; let it be carefully tied to a thin 
■'' slick with bass. After a short time it will begiu to send out another 
shoot from near tlie top, which must be led up the stick, and all iside 
shoots again nipped off, but the bottom leaves again left to strength-
