THE COTTAGE GARDENER. 
January 1. 
certainly cannot tell you how the syllables are sounded, nor do we under¬ 
stand how you can make a mistake with the accents. 
Cydoniajaponica (31. N .).— You may move this now, but the best 
time for doing so is November, or end of October. We think you will 
have found what you require in Mr, Beaton’s subsequent notes on 
Climbing Roses. 
Liquid-manure (F■ C .).—The liquid from a dungheap will benefit 
instead of injuring your newly-planted shrubs, if applied when they are 
growing. This is not the season for applying, but in the spring and 
summer. We cannot recommend dealers. 
Cineraria maritime, &c. (S. C .)—We are sorry you cannot meet 
with this and Catlestina ageratoides, and agree with you in thinking any 
one advertising them would be remunerated. The Centipede is not a foe 
to the gardeners. 
Poultry Dealers (F. B .).—They must advertise. We cannot recom¬ 
mend them. 
Great-flowered Henbane— ( H. W -).—We do not think this is 
to be had of florists yet. Saponaria calabrica could be had of any of the 
large nurserymen near London. 
Tulip Lists ( Enjield ),—Priced lists of tulips, containing descriptions 
i of the flowers, maybe had gratis of Mr. Groom, or any other large 
| grower of tulips for sale. 
Keeping Hedgehogs.— A correspondent (An Experiencer) in answer 
to .1. C.’s enquiries, says :—“Procure two young ones, male and female ; 
j put them in your garden, but if they have not a good warm bed, they will 
not live; get a barrowful of dry leaves, place them in any out-of-the-way 
| spot in your garden, there put the hedgehogs, and give them acorns, crabs, 
apples, &c., but best of all, a small dish of milk. They will live on bread, 
and if you teach them to understand any call, they will come at the signal, 
and eat at their little trough.” 
Names of Orchids (A Correspondent). —Your orchid flowers came 
! in tolerable condition, but some of the labellums had lost their colour. 
They are—1. Zygopetalum Mackayii. 2. Z. Mackayii, a large var. 3. 
I Z. brachypetalum , but so faded, that we are not quite sure we are correct 
I in so naming it. 4. Z. Murrayanum.

At this festive 
period of the year, when friends and lovers 
assemble at the social board, or join in the 
mazes of the dance, a more than usual anxiety 
is created for Personal Attraction, and the 
following unrivalled discoveries for the Toilet 
are called into increased requisition, namely— 
ROWLANDS’ MACASSAR OIL, for creating 
and sustaining a luxuriant head of hair. 
ROWLANDS’ KALYDOR, for rendering 
the Skin soft, fair, and blooming. 
ROWLANDS’ ODONTO, or Pearl Denti¬ 
frice, for imparting a pearl-like whiteness to 
the Teeth, and 
ROWLANDS’ AQUA D’ORO, a fragrant 
and spirituous Perfume, an essential accom¬ 
paniment to places of public amusement and 
crowded assemblies. 
The Patronage of Royalty throughout Europe, 
and the high appreciation by rank and fashion, 
with the well-known infallible efficacy of these 
articles, give them a celebrity unparalleled, and 
render them a peculiarly Elegant and Sea¬ 
sonable Present! 
Beware of Spurious Imitations. The 
only genuine of 'each bears th* name of 
“ROWLANDS’” preceding that of the 
Article on the wrapper or label.

AND FLORIST'S GUIDE; 
Or, Hints on General Cultivation, Floriculture and Hothouse Management, 
•with a Record of Botanical Progress. 
Conducted by THOMAS MOORE, F.L.S., Curator of the Botanic Gardens, Chelsea. 
ASSISTED BY A. HENFREY, F.L.S., AND W. F. AYRES, C.M.H.S. 
This work will be chiefly confined to Flower-culture and Botany, being intended to form a 
Monthly Record, with faithful representations, of such Plants—whether newly-imported species, 
or new varieties of Florists’ Flowers—as are deserving of extensive cultivation. Each Part is 
intended to contain Two Plates, drawn from nature, and coloured in every respect equal to those 
in the “Gardeners’ Magazine of Botany,” with Sixteen Pages of Letter-press, interspersed 
with Vignettes and Engravings on Wood. 
The Plates will, as far as possible, be allotted so as both to represent the finest Florists’ Flowers 
as they come into bloom, and the most interesting and newest Flowering Plants imported during the 
season, or flowered for the first time in this country. In each case, when the subjects admit of it, 
two or more figures will be grouped together, so that three or four subjects may frequently be 
represented on the Two Plates. 
The Letter-press will consist of popular descriptions of the Coloured Illustrations, with their 
history and cultivation in plain and popular language, with due precision, but w ithout any attempt 
at technical description ; Notices of New Flowering Plants from Public and Private Gardens and 
the Nurseries, accompanied by Wood Engravings of the most remarkable of those which the 
Plates will not suffice to illustrate ; and a record of Botanical progress derived from personal 
observation, or gleaned from the foreign journals, and from the proceedings of the Societies, 
As it will be the object of the Conductors to place before their readers information on all the 
best and newest Flowers and Plants, with Illustrations of them, it will be the interest of Culti¬ 
vators residing at a distance from London to acquaint them, from time to time, w ith the existence 
of novelties worthy of being figured, described, and cultivated. All such communications will be 
treated with attention and impartiality.

KIDD’S LONDON JOURNAL: 
A Literary, Scientific, Instructive, and Amusing 1 Family Paper. 
Conducted by Mr. WILLIAM KIDD, of Hammersmith, 
Author of“ British Song Birds,” ‘‘Birds of Passage,” “ Essays on Natural History,” 
“ Instinct and Reason,” “ The Aviary and its Occupants,” $c., now publishing, 
weekly, in the Gardeners’ Chronicle Newspaper. 
From the Critic, London Literary Journal, No. 257, December 15, 1851 :— 
“A New Weekly Journal ok Natural History. —We observe that Mr. William Kidd, of 
Hammersmith, the author of so many interesting and intructive works on Natural History, is 
about to address himself to the public, through a cheap Weekly Journal of his own. This we take 
to be a wise step ; for the amateur and the experienced naturalist alike require an organ and a friend. 
Such, we anticipate, Kidd’s London Journal will be ; and our readers can judgeof the reason¬ 
ableness of the anticipation, for we have, by means of Extracts from his Essays, published in the 
Gardeners’ Chronicle and elsewhere, made them familiar with the generality of William Kidd’s 
mind, and the correctness of his acquirements as a student of nature. Kidd’s London Journal 
is, we observe, to be the same size as ‘ Household Words,’ and will contain other information than 
that which the Editor has spent a life in obtaining and generalising.”
