gated by layers put down in autumn. 

 They prefer good loamy soil and a shady, 

 sheltered situation. The Passion Flower 

 l;Jes good but somewhat light soil. It 

 requires a little protection by means of 

 matting in severe winters, and may be 

 piopagated during the summer by cuttings 

 of young wood in almost any stage, placed 

 in sand under a handlight. Peat and loam 

 suit the Passion Flower, and the Tecoma 

 also, which is propagated by pieces of the 

 roots, or by cuttings of young shoots. The 

 Vitis, or vine, like a rich, open loam, and 

 is propagated by cuttings and buds of the 

 ripe wood, and by layers. Grafting and 

 inarching are also resorted to for the culti- 

 vated sorts. The Wistaria likes sandy 

 loam and peat, and is propagated by layers 

 of long ripened young shoots. Cuttings of 

 strong roots will also serve the purpose, 

 and young shoots getting firm, set in sandy 

 soil and protected by a handlight. 



Climbing and Trailing Plants, 

 List of. 



F'ew gardens can be furnished without 

 some climbing or trailing plants to run up 

 trees, scramble over poles and rustic build- 

 ings, or to cover walls. The plants that 

 are named in the following list will be 

 found to be well adapted to any of these 

 purposes, being perfectly hardy. To these 

 may be added a whole host of Banksian, 

 Boursault, Ayrshire, and other climbing 

 roses ; but there is no necessity for includ- 

 ing them in the present list.

Of the ivies there are many varieties, 

 distinguished as silver ivies, golden ivies, 

 &c., from the colour of the foliage, which 

 are not named here. In ordering plants of 

 the clematis, ivy, &c., it is desirable to 

 consult the price lists of large growers. 



Clipping Hedges, <fcc. 



All evergreens and hedges, especially 

 evergreen hedges, should be cut to a point 

 pyramidically ; for if the top be allowed to 

 overhang the bottom, the lower shoots will 

 invariably die off. With hollies and laurels 

 use the knife in pruning, to avoid the rusty 

 appearance of the withering of half-cut 

 leaves. Privet and thorn may be clipped 

 with the garden shears.
