TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
One of Us. — Tropceolum edule, T. Lobbianum, T. Moritzianum, and 
T. pentaphyllum, are all that are suitable for the trellis at the back of a 
greenhouse, and they will cover a large space. Any respectable nurserymen 
will supply them. The two first are rather high-priced. The other species 
we should recommend you to procure are T. Jarratii, T. azurea, and T. bra- 
chycerus (see last July No.), though they will not succeed in the situation 
mentioned, but require to be grown in pots, and trained to a light wire 
trellis. 
Leopold Bossange. — We regret exceedingly the accident which has 
happened to your plant, as we feel very curious to know what it can be, and 
shall certainly hope for the opportunity of seeing it next year. If it belongs 
to Liliacece, there is or was certainly a bulbous root attached to it, which you 
have not mentioned, and may still remain where the plant was placed. Your 
letter did not reach us till too late for last month. 
A Gardener. — The last edition of Donn’s Hortus Cantabrigiensis is the 
only perfect catalogue; it contains all the introductions up to the date of its 
being published, which is very recent. 
X. T. —We really see no difference in the Dahlia sent as a seedling and 
the old “ Nonpareil.” 
J. De L. —Yes, we can recommend a person who will suit you exactly. 
F. Simpson. — Only No. 4. of the seedling Fuchsias is worth preserving; 
the tube and sepals of this are bright carmine, very smooth, and large, and 
contrast finely with the rich purple corolla. We only wish the latter was 
larger ; if it is a free bloomer, it will make a desirable variety. Nos. 6. and 
10. of the Petunias are, as nearly as we could judge, finely-formed flowers; 
the first a deep rose, which is remarkable for having a light-coloured throat; 
the other a pale lavender, with bright irregular edging of pale crimson. 
E. Thompson. — Good for nothing.
