may be treated, however, as soon as the dower-buds make their 
appearance, to liberal supplies of guano-water, or any good 
liquid manure. The plan to which we alluded last month, of 
placing three cuttings in a pot, answers admirably for this class, 
and saves a great deal of trouble in stopping. If grown singly, 
they will require to be shortened frequently, in order to induce 
more compactness of growth,—the last stopping not to be made 
later than the beginning of August. In order to preserve them 
in beauty for a more lengthened period, it is desirable to place 
them in a house for blooming,—we have used a tiffany one for 
this purpose, with favourable results. 
The varieties now figured w T ere exhibited by Mr. John Salter, 
of the Versailles Nursery, Hammersmith, and will form, we 
think, desirable additions to the class; nor can we notice them 
without drawing attention to the extreme care and minuteness of 
detail which Mr. Andrews has bestowed on our figures. They are, 
—Acts (fig. 1), a medium-sized flower, of a rich, sulphur-yellow, 
slightly tinged with orange. Cajpella (fig. 2), beautiful reddish- 
brown, very compact in its habit, and very free blooming; and 
Lucinda (fig. 3), a large-sized flower, mottled lilac; the edges of 
the petals being white, it has quite the appearance of an edged 
flower. These, with some other varieties, will appear in the 
list of novelties to be sent out by Mr. Salter in May next.
