NEW DWARF RACE OF is a new strain of dwarf Cinerarias selected by Mlf. Vilmorin& Andrieux, of Paris. In diversity of colour, quality, and size ofblooms the plants are described as equalling the best of the ordinary race, while muchneater and dwarferin habit—qualitiesthat will be appro,ciated by the culti-V a t o r. The carewhich MM. are known tobestow on theirtrials and renders themworthy of the of the world;and, nodoubt, manywill be induced tocultivate this newstrain, of which theaccompanying is anillustration by thecareful artist, Home-grown Oranges. — Thoseproduced by treesplanted out in theconservatory hereare equal, at leastin appearance, tothe best importedfruit. The crop,which is nearlyripe, is abundant,thus combining, ina striking manner,the useful with theornamental. Thetemperature of thehouse iu which thetrees are grown iskept at 50 iuwinter, but as coolas possible in , iu order to the beauty ofthe blossoms offlowering plants aslong as possible. Asthe Orange tree is avery free flowerer,the fruit has to bethinned soon after it is set, or the tree would probably suffer fromover, cropping. The fruit ripens the year after it is set, early or late,according to temperature. If intended fordessert, it is best gatheredas soon as it ia fully coloured. The trees do best planted out in pre-pared borders, as, in that case, the roots are not subject to sudden orextreme variation of temperature, like those in pots or tubs. T
