Cult. All the species of this elegant and curious genus, are 
well suited for climbers in conservatories and stoves, being free 
growers and of easy culture. They thrive well in very light 
rich soil, and the more room they are allowed, both for roots 
and stems, the freer they will grow and flower. They are all 
easily raised from cuttings planted in sand or mould, placed in 
heat; and the younger the cuttings are, the sooner they will 
strike root. Most of the species ripen fruit in our stoves, and 
consequently many fine varieties have been raised by impreg- 
nating the stigmas of one with the pollen of another. Several 
hybrids, raised from seeds set by the pollen of P. cærùlea are 
nearly hardy. Several of the species are marked greenhouse, 
in which they will grow and flower freely. Passiflora cærùlea 
is the only species that can be considered quite hardy, and it 
requires a sheltered situation; it is therefore safest to plant 
against a wall, that it may be protected by a mat in severe 
weather : it thrives well in any soil, and cuttings of it are 
readily rooted, under a hand-glass. 
Culture of the edible species of Granadilla.—All the species 
will fruit even in Jarge pots; but itis best to plant them in an 
angle of a stove, which has been parted off, either by boards or 
brick-work, as low as the pit goes. At the bottom of the cavity 
formed by this division, should be laid some brick rubbish, over 
which may be thrown a little dead tan, and the whole be then filled 
with equal parts of very old tan, and a compost of leaf-mould and 
rotten dung; therein the roots will strike freely, and will even 
spread through the partition into the pit. They do not require the 
full heat of a pine-stove, for they flourish best in a temperature of 
from 65° to 70°; but they will not bring their fruit to perfec- 
tion if kept in a common greenhouse or conservatory, though 
they will grow and flower init. The shoots as they advance 
may be trained near to and under the inclined glass of the stove ; 
the first flowers will appear in May, and the blooming will con- 
tinue until September, the fruit setting the whole time ; but if it 
does not set well it will be adviseable to impregnate the stigmas, 
by applying the pollen with a feather. As they grow, the very 
strong shoots should be cut out from their origin; for these do 
not bear fruit so abundantly as those which are less vigorous ; 
but the fruiting-branches must not be shortened on any account. 
The temperature must be kept up equally during the time of 
flowering and fruiting; the crop will begin to come in August, 
and will continue until January, but the earlier produce is the 
best. When the crop is all off, which will be early in January,
