We cannot throw any light on the case of your Camellia if there ha3 not been any budding or grafting.

Garden-Walks (Inquirer)

Six barrow-loads of rough material and one of fresh lime would cover a considerable space when laid out 3 1/2 inches in thickness, but we cannot say exactly how many square yards it would cover. See the article headed "Gardening on the Thames Embankment" for another capital mode of constructing paths.

Geitiana Gelida

One of the most lovely of this beautiful genus. The flowers bright pale-blue, borne at the extremities of the somewhat diffuse stems, which rise to the height of about a foot.

George Morrison

The leaves of your Roses have been perforated by aphis when in a young state, and their then minute injuries have developed with the leaf into their present extent and character. Keep them free from aphis in the early part of the season.

Green Frogs In Orchid-Houses

These little jumping beauties are most useful creatures among Orchids. They devour all sorts of insects, such as slaters, ants, etc, and are themselves perfectly harmless among the plants, jumping about on the slenderest stems and leaves without doing any harm to the plants. Dr Paterson of Fernfield has a lot of these nimble little creatures in his houses, and no such thing as a slater, ant, etc., escapes them.

H. A. Stanhope

Cut your Vines down to the bottom of the rafters, or to the strong buds to which you refer. I agree with you that the thrashing theory is an absurdity.

Next month.

H. Piggot

I shall be obliged if you could find room in 'Gardener' for full instructions to enable amateur to grow Anthurium Scherzerianum, including the time when it should be dormant, when it should be growing, and when it should flower, the quantity of watering, and the temperature of houses and of water, etc.

[Will any of our correspondents oblige us with a paper on the culture of this Anthurium? - Ed. ]

H. Rose

Many thanks. Shall be glad to hear from you at any time.

H.S

It is difficult for us to say why your bulbs do not bloom. Do you give them a season of rest, as well as one of active growth? If not, such is likely to be the cause; and if so, let them have a season of comparative dryness and repose.

Helenium Hoopesii

This is by far the finest of the genus. It grows about 2 feet high, producing very large deep orange-yellow flowers of the most showy description. It is one of the most handsome of summer-flowering border-plants.
