Half-hardy evergreen climbers. Cuttings of firm side-

 bed, in March. Poor, sandy soil, otherwise they will 

 grow too freely to bloom profusely. Greenhouse, or 

 poles, or wall, during summer, in open air.

CpCdNE'LLZB. Lady-Birds. There are about thirty 

 species of this useful and beautiful insect. Let no one 

 destroy a coccinella, for it is one of the greatest destroyers 

 of the plant-louse, or aphis. This is much better appreci- 

 ated on the Continent than in England ; for there the 

 gardeners collect lady-birds, and place them upon rose- 

 trees, &c., infected with aphides. They are most effective 

 in destroying aphis on Chrysanthemums.
