[ January 21, 1868 
non-lime-loving plants that the soil from such formations 
contains only a very small per centage of lime, and in many 
instances practically none. The growth of these plants— 
that is, when in the native soil, will prove an invaluable 
guide by which the soil to be used may be judged. But 
beginners must not be mistaken when practising on what is 
technically called the “ outcrop ” of the layer or stratum of 
sandstone, for the soil may differ greatly only 100 yards 
away. Under these circumstances the growth of the plants 
referred to might be totally altered, and therefore judgment 
and forethought are needed in selecting soil, and adding lime 
to it for Yxnes. In cases where borders have been made 
with soil from a sandstone formation, and the Grapes are 
not colouring well, or the Vines doing satisfactorily in other 
respects, and the quantity of lime given them has been 
small, they might be materially improved by a liberal 
dressing for a season or two, the dressings of manure being 
dispensed with for that time.—W m. Bardney.

SELECTION OE VARIETIES FOR VARIOUS PURPOSES. 
In giving a selection of varieties for various purposes I have 
endeavoured to name those which are distinct. They are all well 
adapted for growing in the style in which they are classed. There 
are perhaps a few newer varieties which will take a leading position 
when they become better known, but not having had an opportunity 
of testing them I prefer to leave them out through fear of causing dis¬ 
appointment. For those growers who cannot have all the varieties 
named in each section I have placed the varieties first which I con¬ 
sider the best ; therefore a reduced selection can be made according 
to the number required. As these varieties are so well known the 
full descriptions and colours of each can be had from any of the 
many excellent catalogues now published.

SIZES OF EXHIBITION BLOOMS (A GUIDE). 
It is difficult for inexperienced growers to know what size to 
aim at in growing Chrysanthemum blooms for exhibition. They 
are often in error in judging their own flowers, not having seen 
really representative specimens of the various kinds. The best of 
all guides is measuring the flowers, and keeping records of them 
for comparison in following years. I give the sizes of some of the
