SoLANUM. — The well known S. jasminoides may be em- 

 ployed to clothe either walls, pillars, or roof. Plant in the 

 border and keep well watered in summer. It may be easily 

 increased by means of cuttings. 



Tacsonia. — The species with which this interesting genus 

 is made up are eminently beautiful, but only adapted for large 

 houses. They are strong growers, and unless they can ramble 

 about freely, very few flowers will be the result. Treat them 

 as advised for the Passifloras. The best for the greenhouse 

 are T. Buchanani, T. Van Volxemi, and T. eriantlia. 



ViTTs. — The grape-vine is a princely plant for a greenhouse 

 roof, and one of the easiest to grow and to render fruitful. If a 



VITIS HETEEOPHYLIA. 



curiosity in the way of a vine be wanted, you may plant the 

 blue-berried Vitis lieterophylla, or the parsley-leaved V. vini- 

 fera ajpiifolia.
