grand condition, by Mr. H. Wilson.—T. M. 
CORONILLA GLAUCA. 
HIS is a well-known plant in gardens, 
and is deserving of being extensively 
grown, as it flowers from September to 
May ; indeed nearly the whole year 
through. During the summer months it will 
do well at the foot of a north wall, merely 
requiring attention in watering. It grows 
well in a mixture of peat and loam, and is 
readily increased by cuttings, which soon form 
nice dwarf bushy plants very useful for de¬ 
corating, as they will bear a good deal of 
rough usage. By striking a few cuttings 
every season plants of various sizes can he 
had in flower the whole of the winter, and 
these will be invaluable for decoration.—M. 
Saul, Stourton. 
INDIAN CORN FOR GREEN PEAS. 
ATIVES of the American continent, 
where the climate admits of Maize 
being grown to perfection, speak 
always in high terms of this crop, for 
like the oatmeal of Scotland, it enters largely 
into the American household economy; but 
it is not the produce of the farm that I have 
here to deal with, but of the garden plot, and 
with one variety only, and that decidedly 
belongs to the garden and not to the farm. 
The early dwarf Indian Corn that is re¬ 
ferred to here is called “Kean’s Forty-day 
Maize.” In cultivating this plant it is
