Provide either broken potsherds, pebbles, or chips of stones from a mason's yard, and place them in the bottom of the pot. Over these put rough fibrous peat or turf; this will act as drainage, which is most essential; then prepare peat, loam, and - silver-sand in equal parts, with the addition of a little powdered charcoal; let these be well incorporated together and passed through a fine sieve; put this compost on the top of the above mentioned drainage and press it well down. This must be in sufficient quantity to reach within 1 1/2 inch of the top of the pot. Finish with pure silver-sand, and let the whole be well watered, to settle all down before the cuttings are put in. Then, having bell-glasses at hand, and the pots ready, dibble the cuttings into the sand, which will induce the emission of roots, and these will strike down into the compost, which, prepared as directed, will suit any plant - After the cuttings are inserted let them be watered with a fine-rosed pot, to settle the sand round them. Cover with the bell-glasses, and shade until they have become rooted. Cuttings must not be put in too closely together, otherwise they will damp off.

Wipe the condensed moisture from the glasses once a day, but keep them close for the first fortnight or three weeks; afterwards admit air by degrees, by placing a little wedge under the glasses. When the cuttings are rooted remove the latter altogether. Sprinkle occasionally with water from a fine-rosed watering, pot. By attending to these minutiea, Buccess will certainly be attained. A slight hot bed is the best place for cuttings. - A Gardener, in Gardeners' Chronicle.
