Rapid Mode of Raising excellent Vine Plants. At the pruning sea¬ 
son, leave a shoot of strong young wood, over and above what may be w'anted 
for training, of a sufficient length to bend down as a layer into a pot; and also 
lor training it during its growth. When the vine begins to push, displace all 
the buds from the shoot intended for laying, except the leading one. When 
this is grown to about eight inches or one foot long, bend it down to the pot, and 
lay it so that the top joint, whence the young shoot has sprung, may be fixed 
with a strong crook at about one inch under the surface of the mould. As soon 
as it begins to take root, weaken its resources from the mother plant, by making 
an incision in the wood behind the pot, which enlarge by degrees, as fast as the 
young plant will bear it, until it be quite separated from the old one.—T. Rut¬

FLORICULTURAL INTELLIGENCE. 
Culture of the Oxalis floribunda. —These plants have singular fleshy 
roots, quite different from the other species of the same genus, and posses ex 
traordinary beauty when in flower. On examining the root of a good plant 
many growing buds will be perceived; take o AT two or three of these buds, with 
part of the fleshy root, and insert them in sand under a bell glass. Give them a 
little water and place them in front of the stove, where they will have as much 
light as possible ; in 10 days they are ready to pot. Water the cutting pot, and 
then turn them out, and plant one in each pot, in a mixture of vegetable mould 
and peat. After potting give them a little water, and place them in a shady 
part of the house, till the heart leaves begin to grow, then expose them to the 
light; in March remove them to the greenhouse, where they can have plenty of 
air, and in May turn them out into the border, where they will flower till Octo¬ 
ber, when they should be again potted and placed in the greenhouse till next 
year.— Gard. Mag.

Epim'edium dihy'llum. —Two-leaved Epimedium. A curious plant with 
bluish white flowers. Native of Japan. Received by Messrs. Loddiges from the 
Leyden Garden. Culture—It appears to be quite hardy, and should be potted 
in light loam, and increased by dividing the roots.— Ludd. But. Cab.
