Numerous attempts have been made for many years, to grow and bloom satisfactorily in the beds of the flower garden what is usually called "the section of Show Pelargoniums;" but almost universal disappointment has resulted. For in a rich soil the plants produce a vast excess, of foliage and few flowers; and in a poorer soil, the plants being proportionately weakly, produce slender shoots, and but a few small flowers. During the last two years the plan of plunging the plants in pots, by digging a hole in the bed where the plant was to stand, but nearly double the depth of the pot, and only so wide as to fit the size of it; the plant, in its pot, is then inserted in such a manner that the rim of the pot is level with the surface of the bed, thus leaving a vacuity of several inches in depth below the bottom of the pot Attention to watering is required, the same as if in the greenhouse, and the plants bloom more freely than if turned out of the pots; but the method is attended with much care, and they do not continue blooming long, and must be replaced by a succession from another source. What was wanted was a number of Show Pelargoniums (viz. such as are seen at our metropolitan exhibitions), that, being planted in the open ground, would bloom profusely during the entire summer.

We have long had the Pelargonium Diadematum and Sidonia, both dwarfish growers and free bloomers, in beds, but not of approved shape. The gardener of Mr. James Odier, in France, has for a few years been endeavoring, by impregnating these kinds by patterns from the best formed and most striking varieties of the Show Classt and has succeeded in an admirable manner. Already twenty most beautiful kinds have been sent out, many of which have a very strikingly distinct spot, or blotch, in the centre of each of the five petals. They are of dwarfish habit, profuse bloomers, and of superb form. The one we here give a representation of its size and marking, is named P. August Miellez; it is remarkably handsome. The upper petals have a large clouded blotch of nearly black crimson, with a broad belt of carmine, and a light margin. Each of the three lower petals have a very distinct dark spot, edged with orange; and the white ground of the rest is beautifully chequered with orange-red and white edging, while the centre is tinged with violet Every flower garden ought to have beds of these superb varieties; they may now be procured in our own country. - Gardener's & Naturalist's Almanack (London).

The Gardeners' Chronicle states that the Diervilla Canadensis, a plant abounding here in uncultivated ground, has been found, by a young Scotch botanist, growing abundantly in a wild state in the Highlands of Scotland.
