GUIDE TO THE CONSERVATORY. 



RHODOCHITON VOLUBILE, ETC, 



ScROPHULARIN.E. 



A beautiful climber : it succeeds well in pots, 

 trained on fancy wire or wicker work. In March, 

 I strike cuttings, pot them in Xo. 60 pots, and 

 place them in a gentle heat for a short time : as 

 soon as they are rooted afresh, I remove them into 

 the greenhouse. Early in June, I move them to 

 the pot ground: at this time I shift them into No. 

 16 pots, and commence training them. These 

 plants bloom during the autumn and winter months, 

 In June following, I shift them into No. 8, and 

 stand them in the pot-ground until I introduce 

 them into the conservatory. I continue training 

 them as they advance in growth, and cutting off* 

 the flowers until I wish them to bloom. The fol- 

 lowing springs I plant them out in the flower-gar- 

 den, keeping up a supply of young plants as be- 

 fore.
