THE FLORIST’S JOURNAL. 
T. S. Calceolarias require to be kept in a light airy part of the greenhouse ; 
the front shelves are usually assigned them, and air should be given at 
favorable opportunities, always closing the sashes at an early hour, say 
2 o’clock, through the winter; the supply of water should be limited, giving 
it in small quantities only when they appear dry. 
X. need not remove the plants of Fuchsia coccinea and ricartonia, as 
they will survive the winter in the open ground if pruned close to the old wood 
and a little mulch or decaying leaves placed over the roots; the best stocks 
for blooming in pots are the German varieties and the scarlet intermediate, 
the seed of which may be sown early in February in pans and placed in a 
gentle hotbed; pot them when about two inches high into small pots and 
continue them in a frame till they are four or five inches in height, then re¬ 
pot them into the pots they are intended to bloom in. 
Lancastriensis. The culture of Lachenalia tricolor is very simple; pot 
the bulbs at once, using peat if procurable, or well-rolled leaf-mould ; place 
three roots in a 48-sized pot, and keep them in a greenhouse or the window 
of a sitting-room ; water them moderately as they require it. 
Sir,—I n your last and preceding Numbers you have given a valuable 
list of the most ornamental “ Hardy Herbaceous Plants,” which I have no 
doubt has been well received by your readers ; and equally so would be a 
similarly selected list of Greenhouse Plants suitable to the general cultivator. 
I have long been (with many friends) looking for such a means of guiding 
my purchases without meeting therewith, and am therefore induced to make 
this solicitation, should it accord with your convenience to afford such assist¬ 
ance. I am. Sir, your very obedient servant, W. B.
