LAPAGERIAS. 



When these Chilian plants are prop- 

 erly grown they are some of- the most 

 beautiful greenhouse climbers in cultiva- 

 tion. But, unfortunately, there are many 

 places where these fine decorative plants 

 are merely struggling for existence. 

 Broadly speaking, lapagerias are not at 

 all diflBcult to grow, providing they have 

 a suitable position and are well attended 

 to. Few plants pay better for good 

 treatment than the lapagerias, but they 

 soon resent bad management. Some years 

 ago I had charge of some plants that 

 were in feeble health. They were grow- 

 ing in a back border of the greenhouse, 

 on the ground level, near to an outside 

 drain, consequently the little growth they 

 made was very thin. So I had them 

 lifted, and replanted in stone tanks, in 

 a compost consisting of peat, a little 

 turfy loam, charcoal, plenty of coarse 

 sand, and bricks broken up to keep the 

 soil open, giving them abundance of 

 drainage, and covering it with blocks of 

 peat to keep the soil from filtering down 

 between the pieces of brick. 



One of the principal causes of failing 

 to grow lapagerias well is injudicious 

 watering. If allowed to become dry at 

 the roots a few times, the foliage will 

 quickly be attacked with red spider and 

 thrips. Care, therefore, should always 

 be taken to keep them well supplied with 

 water, especially during the growing sea- 

 son, which usually extends from the end 

 of March until September. During this 

 period they should be treated more as 

 semi-aquatics, and in winter kept fairly 

 moist. Syringing also is very beneficial 

 to lapagerias when growing, as it tends 

 to prevent insects attacking them. They 

 require shading during the hottest part 

 of the day, as the tender growths would 

 soon be scorched at the points. L. alba 

 is, I think, far more attractive than the 

 various red and rose-colored forms, and is 

 more expensive, because of the greater 

 demand for plants. Its flowers can be 

 utilized in making up bridal bouquets, 

 wreaths, etc Conseqently, they are in
