training, as the young shoots sprawl about 
everywhere. 
C. Amazonica, with reddish leaves, veined with 
silver, looking like a variegated form of the 
above, is very attractive. For a cooler house, the 
kangaroo vine (Cissus Antarctica) is better 
adapted. It will stand a temperature as low as 
55°, but its foliage being plain green is not as 
attractive as that of the others. 
Because of the ease with which it can be grown, 
the glory tree (Clerodendron) is one of the most 
popular of the flowering vines. It is a twining 
evergreen shrub and the foliage is also attractive. 
For this reason it should not be allowed to get 
dry while resting. It is a good plant for growing 
in pots and training. to a small trellis, being 
easily kept within bounds. But for a really 
good show of flowers or for cutting, plant it in 
the border and let it twine around a pillar or 
trellis. Water freely during summer when flower- 
ing; during the resting period, water sparingly. 
Although the temperature may safely be allowed 
to fall as low as 50° during that time, 70° should 
be maintained while the plant is in growth. 
C. Thompsone is the variety most worth grow- 
ing. It bears large panicles of flowers, pure white 
with crimson centres, and is very floriferous.
