MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 95 



REMARKS. 



On CLIMBING Plants. — The following kinds of Climbing Plants, for 

 training against a wall, arbour, &c. I have cultivated, and send you the list 

 for an early insertion in the Cabinet, as it may serve as a guide to persons 

 desirous of ornamenting, or concealing objects, the present season. 

 TENDER KINDS, requiring to be planted in a warm situation, open to the 



sun, and the roots to be protected in the winter by a covering of niulchy 



dry manure, &c, to the depth of six inches. 



( 'ob(ca scan/lens, will grow against a wall or trellis, to the height of fifteen 

 nr twenty feet. The flowers are blue, bell-shaped, about four inches long. 

 The top is generally killed by frost, but pushes again from the bottom of the 

 stem. 



Eccremocarptis longiflorus, and E. scaler. — Both kinds will grow rapidly, 

 either against a wall, or trellis, and reach to twelve feet in height. The 

 flowers of both are pretty. They are produced in longish clusters. The 

 flowers of tli,- first kind are yellow, and the latter, orange red. 



Mauramlia llarclayana. — This splendid dowering plant will grow very 

 freely, and blossom most profusely, if trained against a wall having a south 

 aspect. The plant will grow six or eight feet high. The flowers are of a 

 line purplish blue, Snapdragon shaped. The plant will bloom from 

 .May to .November. 



J.nphospermum erubescent. — A very fine flowering plant ; grows very 

 rapidly, and flowers very freely. It will grow to the height of twelve or 

 fifteen feet. The flowers are of a fine rose-colour, spotted inside, about 

 three inches long, and the shape of the flower of a common Foxglove. This 

 plant will do admirably against a wall, or trellis. 



Tropccolum atrosanyuineiim. — This is an annual, but has a most splendid 

 il iwer. It will grow to the height of ten feet, and bloom most profusely. 

 It delights in a warm, and sheltered situation, the flowers being soon in- 

 jured by wind. It will do well either trained against a wall or trellis. 



Petunia violacea. — This is a very splendid plant ; the flowers being 

 handsome, (See Cabinet, Vol. 1, page 121, where a plant is figured,) and 

 produced in amazing profusion. The plant will grow six feet high, If of 

 a moderate size when planted out in spring, and have a south-aspected 

 wall. 



Rhodochitun roltibile. — (See Cabinet, Vol. 2, page 217.) — This plant was 

 first named Lophnspermum Rhodochiton, but recently has been altered. 

 The plant will grow, and in all respects answer as the Lophospermum eru- 

 beacens. 



Kach of the above plants should be planted in a fresh turfy soil, well 

 enriched with rotten dung, and the substratum to be open, so that the 

 bottom be not too wet. I have drawn up a list of climbing shrubs, both 

 tender and hardy, which are suited for wall, or trellis training; at a future 

 time I will forward it you. I gave you a list of climbing Roses, of the best 

 kinds, which were inserted in the last volume of the Cabinet.
