time to time, till the end of August, and pot them. 
' Sucii plants having just sufficient start in the beds to 
push them a head of pot-plants of the same kind, and 
J not that degree of rankness which plants in beds never 
fail to have by tbe end of the season, they will make 
the best store pots for spring cuttings, or for growing 
, as specimens in pots next year. 
When plants are planted thin in May, some other 
crop is necessary to cover the open spaces for a while. 
I have used a selection of annuals for this work, and will 
continue to do so as long as I live, though I would not 
tie my hands to any custom in particular. This time 
last year T bought a pinch of herbaceous Calceolaria 
seeds, and kept them in two large pots all through the 
winter, about a hundred seedlings in each pot; in Fe- 
bruary they were colonised ; in March they were “ set¬ 
tled,” wider apart; in April they seemed to know, for 
the first time, under what constitution they were living ; 
and in May they were planted out as annuals among the 
bedding plants. That is the best way in the world to use 
! herbaceous Calceolarias. They are in full bloom while 
i the bedding plants are getting established out-of-doors, 
and continue to be very gay till there is no more room 
for them. The middle of September, however, is time 
! enough to sow them for this purpose, as then they may 
\ be kept in tbe seed-pots till after the turn of the new 
year, to save room. 
As to the manner of gathering cuttings of Geraniums 
for the bed, the least barm will be done by taking the 
young shoots which crowd the centre of tbe plants near 
the bottom when they are four inches long, and to slip 
them off so as to have a heel, and when all that can 
be had at one gathering are off, to trim off three or four 
of the bottom leaves, and smooth the bottoms, and they 
are ready to be put in. I would not grudge them 
plenty of room, as it is bad economy to have them too 
close together; but nine inches between the rows, and 
not less than four inches from cutting to cutting, ought 
| to be a sufficient space for them. On our light soil, at 
Surbiton, we water them well as soon as they are in, 
! and this season we shall mulch between them with the 
Cocoa Nut refuse as we did the Roses last winter. All 
they will need after that is to be damped slightly on 
the afternoon of hot, dry days. I intend, also, to have 
them up and potted into store pots much sooner than is 
usual, say, all to be in winter pots, but not crowded, by 
tbe end of September. Hundreds of kinds of cuttings, 
including Rose cuttings, may be managed on the same 
plan before the 20th of August. We shall put in lots 
of cuttings of the gayest Pompones, of which we have 
i seventy-five kinds this season in the experimental. 
Before this time is up, I believe, I shall not have to ask 
for a single Geranium, new or old, thanks to the con¬ 
tributors. The end of August is my Grouse shooting 
time, and I shall be off to the hills before I am loaded 
! to the last feather. D. Beaton. 
PINUS NORDMANNIANA. 
It was reported thaf Prince Woronzoff had made a planta¬ 
tion of this noble Pine, under the direction of Mr. Sinclair, 
at his seat in the south-east of the Crimea; but an officer 
in the Guards, who rode over there after peace was 
concluded, tells me that he could find no trace of such a 
plantation on the estate ; but that there is one fine specimen 
of it in the pleasure-ground, whicli is eighteen feet high, and 
it may be good news to some of our importers to know that 
this tree was “ full” of young cones at the beginning of last 
June, and that a good-crop of genuine seeds may be ex¬ 
pected from it this autumn.—D. Beaton.
