dow if shaded ; but will not in the winter, unless it has a great deal of heat and 

 light. 



Clerodendron Balfouri 



Needs a warm temperature. Its flowers are of a bright scarlet, with a calyx 

 of pure white, and the clusters are six inches in diameter. It blooms for 

 many months during the winter, and is invaluable for bouquets and roses. It 

 requires a rich soil and much sunshine, but it will grow well in a southeastern 

 location. 



The list of climbing vines is very extensive. For parlor culture it seems 

 hardly necessary to make any addition to a list in which there are so successful 

 and popular favorites as the Ivy, Coboea, and Morning Glory. 



Most of the climbing vines suitable for indoor growth are generally grown in 

 the greenhouse. Often they are started in large pots or boxes, and when trained 

 to a trellis are transferred to a warm sitting-room to stand there as objects of 

 ornament ; but few undertake to grow greenhouse climbers there for permanent 

 use.
