But if the show be at adistance it will be advisable to cut the blooms earlyin the evening, as it is found that if cut when theyare going to sleep, as it were, in the evening, theydevelop less rapidly on the journey to the show, andconsequently travel better than those cut in themorning when they are growing rapidly. It is nouse cutting any blooms which are fully expanded,except in rare cases, as they will be too far advancedfor exhibition by the time they reach the show. Thechoicest half-developed blooms should be selected ;that is to say, those which are large for the variety,. MRS. PAUL {BourbJii). PINK.
