AN EÉNCYCLOPZEDIA OF 
HORTICULTURE. 
Chorizema— continued. 
Chorizemas bear pruning well, and the best time to per- 
form this operation is as soon as they have finished flower- 
ing—say, with early plants, towards the end of May. But, 
if room can be found for them, they need not be cut in 
much, and they will then soon form large plants, cover- 
ing the trellises a yard through, and 4ft. or more high. 
They seldom, however, look better than when placed in 
8in. or 10їп. pots, clothing a globular trellis. They re- 
quire plenty of water during the flowering and growing 
seasons, and if used as basket plants this must be borne 
in mind. If planted out, an excess of moisture must be 
avoided, as this brings on mildew, almost the only enemy 
to whieh this elass of plants is subject; dustings of dry 
sulphur on the leaves is the surest remedy. 
These plants do not root freely from cuttings, but a few 
seeds might be left to ripen. Vigorous young specimens of 
all the leading sorts may be bought cheaply of nurserymen.
