{>> Plants ready for delivery the 10th May. They may be transplanted into the ground till the middle of June, and the roots taken up for exportation any time after 1st November.
DAHLIAS delight in a rich loamy soil; they cannot be too highly manured with well de. omposed Cow manure, During a season of drought, water them twice a week with manure water; thin out superfluous branches, and see that they are well secured to strong stakes, They ate best preserved in winter potted in dry sand, and placed safe from damp. fre-heat, and frost.

New Sorts.—The three first named are the new and beautiful Wutre Coroiia Fachsias, now first sent out in this coutitry, and must rank prominently among the novelties of the season, reflecting eredit on the late Mr. Story, of Devonshire, * adding to the many trophies so worthily earned by the un- tiring zeal of that gentleman, as an energetic Fuschia amateur and hybridizer. It is not to be supposed that this new featrre was obtained, even in its present form, by a single effort, Mr, S, raised, some years

since, a small variety of this much-desired class, which, beyond having a white corolla, was considered of no valuc; it, however, seemed to inspire its fortunate owner with a desire to improve; and by well- directed operations, after two or three generations of seedlings, varieties possessing improved form, good substance, and commendable habit, rewarded the skill of the persevering operator.” They are now propagated and ready for delivery; will flower in June, and can be made splendid specimens for the fall exhibitions, If removed to the conservatory, they will flower up to Christmas. The conservatory (or, if out of doors, a well screened north aspect) is, doubtless, the best place for Fuchsias; even in sum- mer, if screened from the noonday sun and the atmosphere kept close and moist, they will flower in the greatest strength and profusion. The graceful beauty of such sorts as “ Duchess of Lancaster,” “ Clapton Tero,” “Cartonii,” “Glory,” “Jeanne d’Are,” “Macbeth,” “Nil Desperandum,” “ Omar Pacha,” “ En- gland’s Glory,” “ Lady Franklin,” ‘“ Perfection,” and others, is surprising, and every care bestowed upon them is repaid ten-fold. They are not more difficult to cultivate than the Pelargonium, and are certainly not inferior in beauty, and excel in gracefulness that truly regal flower.

Fucustas are readily propagated by cuttings, in sand, with a mixture of peat. To grow the plants to bloom all summer, they should be started in February, in the greenhouse, first in s7valZ pots, and shifted, when the roots completely fill it, into a mixture of fresh loam, peat, or leaf mold from the woods, well-rotted manure, and a little sand; mix thoroughly and break finely (not sift) with the spade or trowel; give the roots good drainage, place them in the warmest part of the greenhouse, and water fre- quently ; as the warmth of summer approaches, and the greenhouse or conservatory becomes empty of plants, place your Fuchsias in the most favored position, shading them with a mat or cotton awning from the sun, after 10 o’clock in the morning, which remove at 5 P. M., unless the sun is off sooner. This treatment, with a gentle syringing of the foliage twice a day—whichb, if carefully done, does not mate- rially injure the flowers—will yive an abundant bloom allsummer and autumn. There is no class of plants more graceful and elegant. The striking contrast of white, carmine, rose, and purple, renders the tout ensemble perfectly charming. Gradually lessen watering after the Ist October, and by November merely give moisture enough to preserve vitality ; place them in some out-of-the-way part of the green- house, on a dry shelf, and water very sparingly, till February, when they may be started again.

Petwntas are increased rom cuttings; the best time is late in the summer, and from plants that have
been headed down for that purpose. Plants taken up in autumn, and kept in the greenhouse, will in-
crease abundantly from cuttings during winter. When from seed, sow in March in frame or pots, and in the garden-bed during May. Young stock should be preserved, as old plants are apt to die ont.
AN TIRARHBIN UMS.
The following fine new sorts, imported last season, have proved superior to any yet introduced, being very distinct, and flowering freely the whole season, commencing in July, contisuing till November, and if carefully potted, will eniiven the conservatory till after Christmas. Antirrhinums are readily in- creased from cuttings, or seed sown in Spring, and transp'anted into pots or bedded out; if the seed is sown very early in-doors, they will flower the first season; the quality of such depends on the character of the seed; the improving of which has been brought to great perfection in England. It may be well to inform those not acquainted with botanic names, that the more common or specific name is *Snapdragon,” the original color of which isa dull purple or crimson; but by care they have been brought to their present fine state.
