summer, set the plant in a sheltered situation out of 

 doors.

JASMINE. 



A family of favorite climbing shrubs, and very pretty for 

 window culture, alike desirable for their neat foliage and 

 fragrant flowers. The flowers are white or yellow, and pro- 

 duced from February to June, or later. 



The soil should be equal parts of loam and peat, with a 

 slight admixture of sand. The only insect attacking them 

 is scale, which a little care in washing will soon remove. 

 With common room culture, they grow to a large size and 

 make superb plants. 



Water should be rather freely given. They should be 

 trained on neat trellises, and the branches allowed to droop. 

 The most desirable varieties are, 



J. Azoricum. White flowers in summer. 

 J. Odoratissimum. Yellow flowers in spring. 

 J. Multiflorum. White flowers in spring. 

 J. Nudiflorum. Yellow flowers in spring.
