vinery, if treated as above directed, but not to the 

 same degree of perfection. 



CLETHRA ARBOREA. 

 Class, Decandria. Order, Monogynia. 



Erice;e. 



Native of Madeira, 1784. — Propagation, cuttings. 



This beautiful greenhouse tree is of easy culture. 

 It requires the treatment of other greenhouse plants. 

 Pot in light loam, and always confine the roots in 

 small pots, in proportion to the size of the head of 

 the plant ; water with dung water. With this simple 

 treatment, it will flower in great profusion once in 

 two years ; it exhausts its sap with blooming, and 

 is not able to mature flower-buds the succeeding 

 summer. I have had plants every shoot of which 

 has produced a bunch of blossoms. If kept in 

 large pots, it grows too freely to bloom much. 



CLITORIA TERNATA. 

 Class, Diadelphia. Order, Decandria. 



Leguminos^:. 

 Nati ve of East Indies, 1739. — Propagation, seeds. 

 A lovely blue flowering plant, requiring the heat 

 of the flower-house. It succeeds well in peat with 

 a little cally sand. It may be moved into the 

 conservatory when in flower.
