equal, if not superior, to any of its congeners.” I do not 
quite agree to this, for H. Comptoniana is brighter coloured 
and has finer corollas ; but it is certainly a welcome acquisi- 
tion. It first flowered in April of the present year, and will 
no doubt prefer the spring for its blossoming season. 
In the garden of the Horticultural Society it is found to 
require the same treatment as other weak trailing greenhouse 
plants, and may be grown and flowered successfully either by 
being trained up a rafter, or round the convenient trellis 
work now so common as a support for such plants, when 
grown in pots. The latter method is particularly desirable 
where it is wished to move the plant from one house to another, 
or to have its flowers near the eye. The best soil is loam 
and peat mixed with a quantity of sand. It strikes readily 
from cuttings.
