POULTRY. 
The supply of poultry still exceeds the demand, and 
prices are low in consequence. It is too early in the season, 
when we go to press, to give any quotation as to Partridges. 
Choice young birds on the morning of the 1st of September 
easily realise 8s. each. It is one of the anomalies of 
the most anomalous of all laws, the Game Laws, that birds 
should be legally saleable before it is possible they can be 
legally killed.

TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
*** We request that no one will write to the departmental writers of 
The Cottage Gardener. It gives them unjustifiable trouble and 
expense. All communications should be addressed “ To the Editor of 
The Cottage Gardener, 20, Paternoster Row, London.” 
Errata. —In the article on Luton Hoo there are typographical errors, 
some of which render the contents unintelligible ; such as, p. 370, 2nd 
col., 10th line from top, east for west ; p. 37b 1st col., 1st word of 21st 
line should be ram instead of seen. Farther down, the word Helienste- 
mans should he Helianthemums ; p. 372, 1st col., 12 lines from bottom, 
“ a conical shaped roof” should be a conical shaped stage. It will be 
evident that a conical or pyramidal stage would present a tine appearance 
to a visitor traversing the hack path. I allude to this particularly, 
because the showing off plants in houses is a feature we have all much 
to learn about.—R. F. 
Name of Lily {H. IV. D., Kent). —It [is the Lilium lancifolium 
rubrum, or Red-spotted Lance-leaved Lily. Prices vary; any of the 
florists who advertise in our columns will gladly answer your enquiries. 
Removing Shrubs and Evergreens (.4 Subscriber). —A yearly 
tenant who has planted these has no legal right to remove them without 
his landlord’s permission. 
Dung Flue (A Subscriber from the First). —There are several ways of 
applying dung-linings so as to command heat in a bed. Mac Phail’s plan 
being to have a brick flue running through the whole bed, the ends 
being open to receive the heat from the linings applied j while Mills’s 
plan was to work the bed entirely, by lining applied against the sides of 
the slender brick-work on which the frame was placed, the plant or plants 
being grown over a sort of hollow chamber receiving the heat; but a 
homely contrivance of placing a frame over a pile of brush wood, or, rather, 
rough billet-wood, answers equally well, the principle being the same in 
all cases, assiduous application of linings. Hot water has, however, 
superseded these tedious operations to a great extent. 
Vegetables for Winter {Idem).— See an article by J. Robson in 
to-day’s paper. 
Names of Plants {Margaret). —Your Ferns are Polystichum 
tobatum, Asplenium adiantum nigrum, and Polypodium Dryopteris. 
Your Wilsonii, if well established, had better be protected where it is, if 
protection is needed. (S. Cooper.) Nicotiana accuminata. (S. R. 
Short, jun.) 1 . Veronica elegans. 2. Actsea Americana. 3. Corydalis 
lutea, we think, but cannot be certain without seeing a bloom. The 
other plant, sent a second time, is a Monarda, and, we believe, M. didyma.
