AURICULA STAGE. 
It was my intention to have offered you a few pages which I had 
written on the cultivation of the Auricula, together with some observa¬ 
tions on the leading varieties in cultivation, but this has been so 
well done by two of your “old” correspondents, “ Iota” and “ D.,” 
Fig. 1. 
Front—one long ventilator. 
H. Three brass hinges. 
I. Pins to fit holes in the iron bar which holds the top open. 
K. Two rows of bricks on coal ashes or brick floor. 
that I see no necessity for my remarks. I shall therefore confine 
myself to a sketch of an Auricula box or frame for wintering and 
blooming that beautiful flower, which I consider to be the most perfect 
of any yet made, and which has the approval of your correspondents 
alluded to.

Back—three ventilators. 
The ventilation may be increased by removing the alternate bricks, A, before 
and behind ; but they must be replaced in frosty weather. 
H. Three brass hinges.
