KNOWLEDGE AND USE OF FLORICULTURE.

Geography of Flowers, by the conductor of the Florist’s Journal, 
Paxton’s Botanical Dictionary, &c., as the case might deserve. 
Giving a fair trial to some such plan as this would soon, I am well 
convinced, make it evident to the aristocratic and wealthy, that 
it is the easiest and shortest way for making the peasant con¬ 
tent with his home, intelligent, and intellectually happy. But I 
will for the present conclude by giving a short list of such exotics 
as flower well with me on a wall, having an eastern aspect, 
without any covering, and at a height of upwards of 700 feet 
above the sea, in a cold inland part of Scotland. 
Cydonia Japonica flowers abundantly and splendidly. 
Wistaria Sinensis, ditto ditto. 
Leycesteria formosa has attained a height of about 8 feet in two years, and 
blooms abundantly. 
Robinia hispida blooms profusely, but as it is apt to get bare and unsightly 
at bottom, I have an 
Anagyris indica planted so as to cover such defect, and replace it altogether 
when it becomes very unsightly. 
Rosa Bengal florida, reached a height of 17J feet last summer, (it was only 
planted the previous autumn, a small plant;) it has stood last winter’s 
frost uninjured, and this season it has borne, on numerous lateral 
branches, abundance of very large roses. 
Rosa mierophylla alba adorato grows luxuriantly and blows well. 
Rosa Adelaide d’Orleans stands the severest frost uninjured. 
A white moss (planted two years—a small plant then,) had 227 full formed 
buds on it at one time this season, almost all of which have blown, or 
are blowing, notwithstanding the variable and excessive moist nature 
of the season. 
A blush noisette has many hundreds, I might perhaps with truth say 
thousands, of flower buds and flowers on it. 
Grevillia ruga, &c. blooms profusely and splendidly. 
Aristolocliias and Ribeses might be added to these, as suitable 
for cottage decorations; and Fuchsias, Salvia patens, Gladiolus 
cardinalis and floribunda, Alstroemeria aurea, Lilium, tigrinum 
candidum, and Czackia liliastrum, &c„, might be planted in 
the area of the border, and as they all die down to the ground 
in winter, the simple precaution of covering the border with 
a thick stratum of leaves, would amply suffice to protect them, 
and the life knot of the wall plants, from the inclemency of 
the severest winter. To the list of wall plants I might have 
added Tree Carnation, Calampelis scabra, and Maurandya Bar-
