seeds, sown in 5in. pots, in March or April. When large 
enough to pot off, the seedlings may be placed singly in 
other pots or in baskets, when they will soon grow into 
flowering specimens. A rather rich soil—loam and leaf 
mould or decayed manure, in the proportion of one part of 
_the latter to two of the former—will suit admirably. In 
the young stages of growth, the plants should be subjected 
to stove treatment. When in flower, these Thunbergias 
a admirably adapted for edging groups, of plants along 
with other dwarf-growing subjects.
