much advantage is gained by turning- the plants out of the 
pots and then planted, as they make isueh rank growth, espm 
cially if the ground be at all strong, and when polled up 
again are liable to drop their buds if this operation is not very 
carefully performed. A fine double white is Mine. Lemoine, 
which flowers profusely, and is very fragrant. Mine. Legraye 
also forces well. Charles X. is a good red variety, and is useful 
for forcing early. R. Thatcher.

their finely divided foliage, are very useful for table decoration 
and other purposes, T. adiantifoliuni making a handsome plant 
4 ft. high. Cosmos bipinnata, a half liardy annual, is a strong 
plant, 3 ft. to 4 ft. high, with very large finely-cut leaves and 
flowers very like single Dahlias—a very handsome plant in the 
summer. Rhus glabra lacinata is a shrub with a very finely cut 
leaf.— John Craigie.
