TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
Back Numbers. —Sixpence each will be given for clean copies of 
Nos. 1, 3, 5, 6, and 66, of Tun Cottage Gaedeneb, delivered free at 
the Office, 20, Paternoster How.—Full price, also, will be given for 
Volumes I and III. 
Variegated Plants (G, S, IF.).—We hope to say something about 
them next week. 
Insect on Cucumbers (An Old Subscriber), —The insect is the 
T /trips. You will find all we know about it if you look to the Index of 
any former volume. You probably keep the air under your glass 
too dry. 
Kew Gardens (Annie). —No order for admission is required. They 
are open to the public daily, and we know of no place near London so 
enjoyable as the Gardens and their Museum. 
Border-edging (Idem). —If expense is not objected to in the first 
instance, cast-iron is the best and most durable. It may be obtained 
cast of a neat pattern. Guano is a very good manure for Stocks. We 
know of no work devoted to forming garden-beds; but we purpose, ere 
long, to remedy the want in our pages. 
Strawberries (IF. Roden). — Mr. Myatt, nurseryman, Deptford, 
Kent, will give you all the information you require. 
Fruits for Lancashire (A Lancashire Farmer). — Dessert 
Apples : Kerry Pippin, Court of Wick, Scarlet Nonpareil, Oslin, Brad- 
dick's Nonpareil, Sam Young, Wormsley Pippin, Murgil .— Dessert 
Pears : Beurre' de Capiaumont, Beurre‘ d’Aremberg, Beurre' d’Amanlis, 
Louise Bonne de Jersey, Knight’s Monarch, Beurre' Diet, Jargonelle. 
— Plums: Winesour, Drap d’Or. Magnum Bonum, Orleans, Green 
Gage (wall), Purple Gage (wall), Coe’s late lied (wall), Prune Damson. — 
Strawberries: Keens’ Seedling, British Queen, Comte de Paris, 
Hooper’s Seedling, Elton. 
Order not Executed (M. Keeslifolk). —We believe the person at 
Turnham Green to he a highly respectable man, and think there must 
be some oversight or neglect on his part. Write to him again, and if 
you get no reply we shall aid you: 
Names of Plants (Totness ).— 1. Escallonia rubra; 2. Deutzia 
scabra; 3. Myrica Gale; 4. Too damaged to be known; 5. Veronica 
salicifolia; 6. Fabiuna imbricata; 7, Leycesteria formosa, — (Clericus). 
One is Weigelia rosea, a beautiful hardy shrub; the blue flower is one 
of the Borageworts, and a species of Anchusa ; but wc cannot for certain 
name what species from such a bit.— (An Old Subscriber). The Gladiolus 
flower sent is a beautiful variety, of course an English hybrid, and some¬ 
thing in the way of the variety called Prince Albert. The other imperfect 
specimen wc take to be Anomutheca cruenta, and not an Ixia.
