Grafting Clematis. — IF. J. Drawer: The Cucumber house, 
with the propagating frame, is the best house you mention in 
which to place the pots after the roots they contain hare been 
grafted. It is most convenient to work or graft the roots before 
potting, as the graft should be below the surface of the soil. 
Take for grafts young buds just started into growth from the 
desired varieties, and after carefully adjusting them on the 
roots and potting the latter, place them in the frame, which 
should be kept close till they commence to grow away vigorously, 
showing that they have taken. Gradually harden to cooler 
temperatures before putting them finally in a greenhouse, cold 
frame, or out of doors. 
Carpet Bed. — One in a Fix: If you plant the bed as follows ; 
the effect should be as good as you can get with the materials :— 
1, Golden Feather Pyrethrum; 2, Sedum glaucum ; 3, Sedum 
Lydium ; 4, Oxalis corniculata rubra; 5, Jlesembryantliemum 
cordifolium variegatum ; 6, Antennaria tomentosa. Two lines 
would look very w r ell in the small bed if planted with dwarf 
subjects. 
Haricot Beans.— Omieron : Yes, certainly. The seeds ripen 
early. You can sow at once. 
Names of Plants .—Reginald Young: 1, We have seen this in 
gardens under the name of L. Candida, and it appears to be a 
pale green sepaled form of L. Lawrenciana ; 2, Cattleya Skinneri; 
3, C. S. alba, not quite so clear as the best varieties, but good ; 
4, Masdevallia Harryana, a very bright variety. The box con¬ 
taining the flowers had collapsed and all the blooms were much 
smashed and almost unrecognisable. IF. J. Drawer .- Kcempferi 
aureo-maculata, generally known in gardens as Farfugium 
grande.
