One of the finest of stove climbers is Beaumontia 

 grandiflora, of twining habit, and of fine effect with 

 its corymbs of many white, dark-throated flowers. It 

 ought, if possible, to be planted out in the house, and 

 to be propagated by cuttings in bottom heat and under 

 a glass. It likes a good loam and peat, not too fine. 

 Some of the Begonias of tall habit are pretty when 

 trained to pillars or trellises, and one of climbing habit 

 — scandens — is nice to train against a wall or pillar. 

 The white flowers are small, however. It requires no 

 special treatment. 



Some of the Cestrums are ornamental plants in the 

 stove or greenhouse, growing well in almost any rich 

 soil of an open nature, and requiring little in the way 

 of training but pinching back early in the year. They 

 are propagated by cuttings in early autumn. Aurantiacum,
