Caleonema Album.—This very pretty evergreen shrub is used at the Cape in boucjuets, in the same manner as adi- antunis are ordinarily used. The scent is pleasant and the foliage outlasts that of ferns tenfold. The plant is raised from seed. Cinerarias.—The usual method of propagating cinerarias is from seed, but if it is desired to perpetuate any particu- larly desirable kind, it may be done by propagating from offsets. As the plants go out of flower about the end of April, cut off the flower stems, and place the plants in a cool house near the glass ; or if danger of frost is over, a cold frame will do as well as anywhere. Growths will soon be produced from the base of the stems, and during the month of June they may be taken off with a portion of roots attached, each offset to be planted in a small pot, and the whole of them must be placed in a close frame or hand- glass until roots have formed in the pot- ting soil, when they must gradually be inured to more air and light. After being well established they must be pot- ted on and treated exactly like the seed- lings. Selaginellas.—Those of trailinghab- it, such as S. csesia, are indispensable for draping over the sides of silver epergnes, or to be used in a cut state to mix with cut flowers in centre glasses, etc., while the compact growers are equally invalu- able for covering the surfaces of vases containing table plants. S. denticulata, S. variegata, S. Poulteri, S. Emiliana, S. Mertensi, S- M. variegata, S. apoda and S. csesia ai'e amongst those most suitable for dinner-table decoration. S. apoda needs a warm glace in which to grow, and requires frequent replanting to keep it from dying out. SURPLUS STOCK OF CARNATION ROOTKl) CUTTINGS in sand, of large, healthy plants.
