TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
Hardy Heaths (.Ericaceae ).—There is no doubt but the culture of 
hardy Heaths would repay you, by their beauty and interest, the trouble 
you would incur in growing them. Mr. Appleby is writing on their 
culture, and will give you, hy-and-by, his ideas on form, colour, and 
grouping. Your inquiry ahout any work containing a list of the best is 
not so easy to answer. You will find a select list in The Cottage 
: Gardeners’ Dictionary, and a longer one in Loudon’s “ Hortus 
Brittanicus ; ” but if you wait for a week or two, Mr. Appleby will give 
a list describing the height and colour of each variety. See what he says 
t in this number. 
Green Centre in Roses (II. W .).—Certain Roses on some soils 
will produce the leaves, or sepals, in the middle of the flower, which 
gardeners call “ green centre.” We have never been able to discover the 
cause ; and the best resource is to buy some other variety. 
Calceolarias (R. Shipley ).—They are very good as to their coloui 
and marking; but the blooms were too shrivelled for us to form a judg¬ 
ment as to their form. 
Names of Plants (S. R. Short, jun .).— 1. Veronica spicata varie- 
gatn. 2. Looks like a species of Monurda; send us this when in flower. 
3. Clnptunia perfoliata. 4. Plilox slolonifera, var. crassifolia. 5. 
Asperula odorata. 6 . Crucianella stitosa. 7 . Cynunvlium aevtum.
