THE FLORIST'S JOURNAL. 
My treatment for the shrubby kinds is the same as for the her¬ 
baceous, except they are propagated from cuttings instead of 
dividing. 
The above, Sir, is a detailed statement of my practice ; which 
if others follow strictly, they will have plants from eighteen inches 
to two feet high, and two feet in diameter; with two or three 
dozen flower-stems, thickly studded with hundreds of those truly 
splendid and elegant flowers, which continue beautiful for three 
or four months. Such I am sure will, in the estimation of every 
lover of flowers, be found worthy of a place in the finest collec¬ 
tion of exotics in Great Britain. 
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, 
John Green.* 
NEW AND CHOICE FLOWERS AND ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS 
ON SALE. 
As we are frequently asked by correspondents, whom we would 
willingly oblige and yet cannot answer individually, where flower¬ 
ing shrubs and plants are to be had of the best quality and most 
certain growth ;—we purpose, from time to time, to give short 
notices of those which the most eminent breeders have of their 
own growing, and which therefore they can recommend as being 
sure in their growth, and true to their characters. When the 
parties have decided upon the breeder w T ho is to supply them, they 
have only to make application for a priced list by post; and from 
this they can make up their orders, and transmitting them, can 
have them just as well executed as if they themselves were on the 
spot. 
Florists, whether professional or amateur, will not fail to see 
the advantage of this kind of information, especially as coming 
from us who have no plant to sell, no party to serve, and no in¬ 
terest in the matter farther than a desire that they who wish for' 
plants should obtain exactly what they want, and that in a fair 
* Fine plants of almost all the Calceolarias bred by Mr. Green may 
be obtained from Mr. Cattleugh of Chelsea; every plant sent out by whom may 
be depended upon as healthy and true to its characters. Mr. Plant, at Cheadle 
in Staffordshire, has also an extensive, varied, and valuable stock of Calceolarias, 
at moderate prices.
