wall. The soil should be a fine rich mould, as good as can be easily 
obtained; and the growth of the plants will be exactly in proportion to 
the pains bestowed on their cultivation. In dry weather they will want 
an unsparing supply of water; it is true that they will live without it, 
but the effect produced by supplying them freely with water in a dry 
season will amply repay the trouble. The great tasselled yellow and 
incurved pink will flourish on a north wall; and I have seen them eight 
feet high in spots that do not receive a glance from the sun. Those who 
wish to decorate their greenhouses in November and December will find 
this flower particularly valuable, as its golden and silver blossoms expand 
in full perfection when protected from frost; and it is the true end of cul¬ 
tivation, to bring every flower we grow to the highest perfection of which 
it is susceptible. In order to reap the advantage of a greenhouse, the 
plants should be placed there about the end of September, and be well 
supplied with manured water, until the buds expand; and when thus 
treated it is no uncommon thing to see the blossoms double the size of 
their relatives in the open ground. The late Mr. Repton left directions 
for planting the rose over his grave, but if I were allowed to prescribe for 
the decoration of a similar dwelling-place, I should particularly wish it to 
be crowned with the golden Chrysanthemum. 
ON THE CULTURE OF THE NEW AND SPLENDID PLANT, FUCHSIA 
CORYMBIFLORA, 
BY MR. STANDISH, NURSERYMAN AT BAGSHOT, BY WHOM IT WAS RAISED. 
The best way of growing this plant so as to make it flower well, is to 
prepare a bed about two feet deep in the open ground, with light rich 
soil : and in the month of May, when all appearance of frost is over, to 
turn the plant out of the pot into it. Thus treated, the plant, as it is 
easily excited to grow, will soon form a massive ball of roots, and a hand¬ 
some head. When the flower-buds have formed, the plant may be taken 
up and potted (if it be thought desirable to remove it to the greenhouse 
to flower), without its sustaining any injury, if it is kept for a few days 
after its removal in a close place. This Fuchsia will also flower splendidly 
when planted at once in the conservatory border, if care be taken to have 
a place prepared for it, with a sufficiently deep and rich soil, as this plant 
is such a very strong feeder that it can hardly have too much room for its 
roots, or be planted in too deep or too rich a soil; and the more vigorously 
the plant grows, the more beautiful and more numerous will be its 
blossoms.
