THE LADIES* MAGAZINE OF GARDENING. 
REVIEW'S. 
In Paxton’s Magazine of Botany for June, are the following 
plants:— 
Dendrobium macrophyllum. A very beautiful orcliideous plant, with 
a long pendulous stem ; introduced from Manilla in 1838. It is a most 
abundant flowerer, and a very valuable plant. 
Helichrysum niveum , Grah. A very beautiful shrubby kind of Heli- 
chrysum. I saw it in full flower in September, in the hothouse of the 
Caledonian Horticultural Society, Edinburgh. 
Stachys coccinea. This very beautiful plant was first supposed to 
require a greenhouse; but I saw it in June last in the Liverpool garden, 
in the open ground, apparently quite hardy. 
Mirbelia jioribunda . This beautiful plant has purple flowers. It is a 
native of New Holland, and is very nearly hardy, though it flowers best 
in a greenhouse. 
FLORAL CALENDAR. 
October is the month for taking up Dahlias, &c., and protecting the 
tender plants which are to remain in the open air all winter. The suc¬ 
culent plants and bulbs should now have their season of rest by withhold¬ 
ing water, or by taking them up. This is also the season for planting 
truncheons of mulberries, and for transplanting trees and shrubs.
