CALENDAR FOR OCTOBER.

T. C--x. — We really cannot promise to figure your seedling, although 
a fine thing; we are completely inundated with subjects already, which it 
will be impossible to publish in the required time, unless we increase the 
size of the work, and give two plates monthly. 
A Tyro. — Yes. Grafting of all kinds may be done now with success 
equal to the spring months, though little or no difference will be observable 
in the growth of the scion through the next season. 
Mr. Fowle’s seedling Antirrhinums are a great acquisition. We are glad 
to remark the attention this beautiful and useful family is at last receiving. 
Lutea is a fine, large, brilliant yellow flower. Maculata, white ground, covered 
with minute crimson spots, fine lip ; a very beautiful variety. Fowlii, white 
tube, upper and lower divisions of the limb reddish purple, large chrome 
yellow lip; this reminds us of the old bicolor, only it is much larger and of 
a different colour. Striata magna, a decided improvement on the old striata. 
Brightii, dark reddish crimson, seemingly derived from quadricolor; a bold 
well formed flower. Altogether a very beautiful and distinct lot. 
Mr. J. Smith, Dalston. —Your seedling Fuchsia Magnet is a fine lai’ge 
flower, long bright vermilion red tube and sepals, with a large pale bluish 
purple corolla. No. ||: very large thick deep vermilion tube and sepals, 
and red corolla; a desirable variety. 
Mr. Miller’s Fuchsia 240 : tube and sepals bright carmine, very thick ; 
the corolla of extra substance and size, crimson purple ; a large fine flower. 
No. 217.: the sepals of this flower reflex so as to show the corolla to ad¬ 
vantage, but they are not so stout or so broad as in the other, colour some 
shades paler ; the petals are broad and expansive, but wanting substance, 
colour pale purple. 
The seedlingF?<cAs/a “ Vuurberg,” from Mr. Fowle, is an excellent variety of 
large size, and thoroughly devoid of coarseness; tube nearly white; pale rosy 
sepals slightly tipped with green, beautifully contrasted with the large stout 
brilliant flame-coloured corolla; it appears to be a free bloomer, and of 
excellent habit. 
“ Flamingo” seems to have been obtained from tricolor; it is much larger, 
with a deeper rose-coloured tube and sepals, and bright red corolla ; free 
bloomer and good habit; a desirable kind. 
CALENDAR FOR OCTOBER. 
Plant Stove. The remarks made last month will apply 
with equal force for the present month, and we therefore re¬ 
commend their reperusal. The temperature should range from 
65° to 70° by day, according as the weather is clear or dull; 
and by night it should not exceed 60°. Flowering shrubs and 
other plants, intended for forcing during the winter, should be 
brought to a state of perfect rest previously to their being excited 
into growth. The application of heat to such plants, for such 
purposes, should always be gradual and progressive.
