types should take place in the months of February or 

 March, and consist in removing the weak, straggling, or 

 overcrowded branches. Some sorts flower from the old 

 or ripened wood ; therefore, to secure blossoms, the strong, 

 one-year-old wood should be trained in, as far as it 

 has become thoroughly ripened, beyond which it may be 

 cut away, the retained parts being so disposed as to fill 

 up vacant spaces. The varieties of the Viticellce and 

 Jackmanii types being summer and autumn bloomers, 

 flowering on the young or summer shoots, the aim in 

 pruning should be to favour the development of vigorous 

 young shoots, by cutting back the summer growth each 

 season, say in November. The ground should then be 

 mulched, as advised above. The varieties of the Viornce 

 section should have the shoots cut off to where they have 

 died down. 



The following list is from Messrs. Jackman's catalogue : 



CALYCIN^E 



Evergreen climbing winter bloomers, with small flowers borne 

 in January and February on the old or ripened wood.

 purple spots. 



C. cirrhosa : White, evergreen, winter-flowering.

 clusters on the old and ripened wood in May.
