TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
C. S., Abergavenny. —Every application of Guano is an experiment, no 
two samples being of the same quality, and this it is that renders it so 
extremely difficult to determine the exact proportion to be used, that we 
constantly hesitate to recommend it for horticultural purposes; however, as 
you are so desirous of trying it, begin with a pound in eight or nine gallons 
of water: you can then increase or diminish the quantity as the result may 
seem to require, but be careful of overdoing it: on no account must you 
water overhead with the solution.

one application will clear them.

flowers. The prices we cannot give, but you may obtain them of Brown,

mould, and well-rotted stable manure. 
CALENDAR FOR JUNE. 
As the past month or two have been the scenes of active pre¬ 
paration and energetic exertion, in laying the foundation of 
future development, and of encouragement in the first opening 
vistas of the floral season, — so must the characteristics of the 
present and the future be responsive to the past; and those who 
love and admire flowers, and seek to enjoy the pleasure of wit¬ 
nessing with satisfaction the effect of their own past exertions, 
must bear constantly in mind that the pass-word is “ Onward.” 
Stove. The directions given in former numbers, with respect 
to the 'principles which should form the guide to safe and suc¬ 
cessful practice , will continue to be applicable with equal force 
throughout the season of growth. In no case, administer any 
check to the development of plants at this season; but rather
