MISCELLANEOUS EXHIBITS. 
Messrs. Wm. Wood & Son, Ltd., Wood Green, had 
a large and imposing stand filled with all sorts of 
horticultural requisites, of which they make a 
speciality. Dried and dyed plumes of Pampas Grass 
gave an ornamental appearance to the heterogeneity 
of articles which were, however, disposed in a taste¬ 
ful and artistic fashion Manures of all kinds, in¬ 
cluding the celebrated Le Fruitier, syringes, wooden 
trug baskets, bamboos in a variety of sizes, and 
samples of the peat and loam supplied to customers, 
were a few of the sundries shown. A novelty that 
bids fair to be of great service to gardeners is " Bon- 
nette’s Arc Lawn Sprinkler," a contrivance to affix 
to an ordinary garden hose, which gives a circular 
spray, a right angle, or a left angle spray, according 
to desire. 
Mr. J. Williams, 4a, Oxford Road, Ealing, W., 
had a very pretty floral table illustrating the decora¬ 
tive value of his rural table decorations.

Questions add snsraens. 1 
*,* Will our friends who send us newspapers be so good 
as to mark the paragraphs or articles they wish us to see. 
We shall be greatly obliged by their so doing. 
[ Correspondents, please note that we cannot undertake to 
name florists' flowers such as Carnations, Pelargoniums, 
Chrysanthemums, Roses, nor such as are mere garden 
varieties, differing only in the colour of the flower. 
Florists' flowers, as a rule, can only be named by those who 
groio collections of them.] 
Origin and Age of Roses — R. W.: The hybrid 
Tea Rose Kaiserin Augusta Victoria was put into 
commerce by Lambert & Reiter, of Germany, in 
1891, so that it has already existed fora considerable 
number of years, and has had time both to be tried 
for what it is worth and to be put before the public. 
Mrs. W. J. Grant was sent out by Messrs. A. Dickson 
& Sons, Newtownards, in 1895, being thus a con¬ 
siderably younger Rose than Kaiserin Augusta 
Victoria. The former has had time, however, to go 
to America and come back to this country under a 
new name, to wit, Belle Siebrecht. The two names 
apply to the same variety, and, therefore, cannot 
both be used on the same stand as indicating two 
distinct Roses. Mrs. W. J. Grant is the older, and, 
therefore, the correct name to be adopted. 
Aliantus glandulosa with large leaves— R .: 
Whether you intend to have them as bushes or trees, 
the treatment in one case will serve in the other. To 
get leaves a yard in length you must encourage the 
tree to grow vigorously. Then the whole of the 
branches or young wood must be cut back to an eye 
or two at the base. If you want bushes you must 
cut all wood back close to the ground line, or a few 
inches above it. If you want standards or round- 
headed trees then you must allow a single straight 
stem to run up to the desired height, and then 
stopped to encourage the formation of side branches 
or a stool of them. Strong shoots will be developed 
annually from this point ; and they should be cut 
back every year to one or two buds above their 
bases. This may be done at the end of February or 
in March. By so doing you will encourage a few 
branches of exceptional vigour, which cannot fail to 
carry handsome leaves. You may further assist by 
giving good supplies of water during the growing 
season. 
Guide to Hampton Court. — Carpet Bedder : We 
think it most likely that the late superintendent's 
idea that the book is out of print is the correct one. 
There were numerous copies of it,about at one time ; 
but as many of them must have been bought by the 
general public the probability is that many of them 
have been destroyed or thrown amongst the waste 
paper of their establishments after having perused 
the same. There may, however, be copies of the 
book in the possession of gardeners, who appreciate 
it for the bedding designs it contains, and some of 
them might be willing to part with the same at a 
reasonable price; but, of course, this is mere con¬ 
jecture on our part. If we can procure a copy for 
you, we shall do so. 
Time for Cutting down Willows — A. C.\ We 
should understand that you mean Willow stools for 
the production of withies or canes and not trees. 
As far as the stools are concerned we might say that 
you could cut them down at any time while at rest. 
This might mean any time between the fall of the 
leaf and the time they commence sprouting again in 
spring. All things considered, however, we think the 
best time to cut down the Willows would be in 
February. This would give the stools time to push 
forth fresh buds from the crown in time to get 
advantage of the whole length of the growing season. 
The young shoots would lose a deal of time if you 
were to defer the pruning till this year's shoots have 
again developed young growths. We admit that 
they they are sometimes allowed to stand till this has 
taken place, but it is a great mistake. 
Phloxes and Pentstemons.— F. J .: The cuttings 
may yet be rooted and produce nice young plants in 
spring, provided you put them under conditions 
that will induce them to emit roots and grow slowly 
but steadily till spring. Dibble the cuttings into 
boxes of light sandy soil, pressed firm and watered 
with a rose a short time before commencing to put 
them in. Stand the boxes in a cold frame, facing 
south, and kept close for a week or so at least. They 
may remain here till frost or cold weather makes it 
necessary to put them in a pit or greenhouse from 
which the frost is kept out. If not quite rooted in 
March, a short time in a warmer house will start 
them away, after which they may be hardened off 
and planted out, at the end of March or beginning 
of April, according to the weather. 
Galium and Gypsophila.— E. C. FI. D.. Galium 
Mollugo has no resemblance to Gypsophila panicu- 
lata beyond the fact that the leaves of both are 
green and the flowers white. It is, therefore, merely 
a case of mistaken identity and rather a glaring one. 
Please note the correct spelling. 
Names of Plants — E. C. H. D.: 1, Solidago Vir- 
gaurea (the Golden Rod); 2, Lonicera japonica 
aureo-reticulata (The golden netted-leaved Japan 
Honeysuckle); 3, Matricaria inodora (Scentless 
Matricaria); 4, Asplenium Adiantum-nigrum (Black 
Spleenwort).— Clydesdale : Brassavola cordata.— A. 
D.: The Sneezewort (Achillea Ptarmica), more 
nearly allied to Pyrethrum or Chrysanthemum than 
to Aster.— J. F .: 1, Pinus Laricio austriaca ; 2 and 
3, Pinus Cembra (The Swiss Stone Pine), as far as 
the materials and lack of cones will allow us to de¬ 
termine; 4, Sequoia sempervirens; 5, Tilia petio- 
laris; 6, Vaccinium Myrtillus; 7, Tropaeolum lob- 
bianum variegatum; 8, Adiantum tenerum or a 
variety of it; 9, Adiantum venustum; Adiantum 
Capillus-Veneris imbricatum.— E. C. H. D.\ 1, A 
variety of the great Indian Cress or Nasturtium 
(Tropaeolum majus) ; 2, The Riccarton Fuchsia 
(Fuchsia Riccartoni); 3, the Double Feverfew (Mat¬ 
ricaria Parthenium flore pleno).— J. W. Laird : The 
strong growing plant is Polygonum Sieboldi; Ver¬ 
onica salicifolia (otherwise known as V. lindleyana ; 
Salvia Horminum, with the tufts of blue bracts at 
the top; the Euphorbia is E. palustris. Please 
number the specimens you send.—S. T. S .: Capsella 
Bursa-pastoris, or Shepherd's Purse.
