A Work, as a Complete Guide for a Bailiff, Wanted.— 
I venture to ask you for one or two things which I think would be 
very useful both to me and many others. First, as I have just 
commenced Bailiff for a considerable estate, and wish to give satis¬ 
faction to my employer, I shall be obliged by your informing me 
which is the best published system of keeping a Bailiff’s accompts, 
and if there is any work which treats of his duties, and what lie ought 
to do, as respects his Master and his tenants planting, repairing, &c. 
&c. and the law and practice in the best regulated estates upon these 
subjects. The situation I have entered upon has been very much 
neglected, and I have much contention to meet;—a book of authority 
on these subjects would help me much, A comparison of the value 
of stone and bricks, tiles and slates, when drawn certain distances, 
how far a ton of one will go, as also the general price of such materials, 
and any other practical hints you can supply. You very probably 
have the means, from your very extensive practice, to supply much. 
I am satisfied if you would give it in a practical manner, not deviating 
into architecture and taste, or adorning expenses which will effect 
the purpose, but ruin the property and person who undertakes them 
on the one hand, or reducing too much what is really necessary and 
fit to be done by the landlord to the tenant, and the tenant to the 
landlord on the other, you will confer a great benefit on your readers.

Why does the Rosa Sulpiiurea cast its Flower-Buds ? 
—Never having seen in your Register any account of the Rosa Sul- 
phurea. I should be very glad to be informed, by some of your nu¬ 
merous Correspondents, the cause of the buds falling off the tree just 
before the flowers open. I have sometimes thought the buds must 
be eaten by some insect, before they come to perfection: but there 
is none visible; the tree itself appears to be perfectly healthy, and is 
against a south wall. Y. X., A Subscriber. 
Aquatics. —Will you give me a few hints as to the management 
of Aquatics ? How frequently ought the water to be changed P 
What soil should be used, and when should the plants be repotted ? 
Anagallis Webbiana. —Is there any nicety in the culture of 
the Anagallis Webbiana ? My plant seldom live beyond the year. 
Chrysanthemums. —I have difficulty in making some of the la¬ 
ter sorts of Chrysanthemums flower; I have beautiful plants, and the 
buds form, but they die off without opening. How shall I treat 
them to have success ?
