We have but little to acid relative to the culture of the Pe¬ 
tunia, which has been so often referred to in our previous vo¬ 
lumes. We may however add, that besides their adaptation 
for bedding purposes, many of them make admirable plants 
for the greenhouse in autumn, when treated as climbing plants 
and trained to a trellis; this variety will be, however, hardly 
suited for this purpose, as we are informed by the Messrs. 
Smith that its habit is dwarf and rigid, so that it will have to 
be treated as such when grown in pots.* 
* We take this opportunity of correcting a mistake which occurred in our 
last number, when we stated that the Messrs. Smith’s Pillar of Gold , Fuchsia, 
would not be sent out until the autumn: a reference to our advertising 
columns will show that it is now being sent out.
