the base. The editor recommends the roots of Ranunculuses to be taken up at, or 
before the end of July.—Let the dirt be carefully rubbed off with the fingers, 
within a day or two after, while the claws are in a pliant state; dry them in an 
airy, but shady room, for if exposed to the sun they are apt to shrivel. When 
dried, put them in paper bags, and keep them in a dry part of the house. Law-

gated state.

A VERY good selection, and some of them new. To those who have a stove, we 
particularly recommend the Gesiieria Bnlhnm, as a very handsome addition to the 
plants. We should consider it a very great improve nent to this little w'ork, if the 
names were accented ; that the young botanist may, when he possesses it, have 
a complete work, without having to refer to another for accentuation. Ibcris
