if the soil is not too rich. It is commonly cultivated as a 

 summer border plant, but will bloom well in the green- 

 house. To this end, plants should be struck during the 

 summer, and grown with plenty of light and air ; let the 

 soil be loam, and well rotted manure, with a little sand ; 

 do not give the roots too much pot room, and water occa- 

 sionally with liquid manure. Plants may also be raised 

 from seed, but they flower less freely than those struck from 

 cuttings. This lovely variety is too well known to need 

 description. 



We have been thus diffuse in treating of this plant, 

 because it is the best climbing window plant we have. 

 Give it sun, and it will be a mass of bloom all winter. A 

 pretty way'is to train it up the side and across the window 

 on strings. Do not, however, give it a very large pot, or it 

 will all run to leaves. It should also have a sandy soil.
