 A grand genus of the Passiflora family, yielding to no twining shnib in cultivation for

 ing the varieties of this magnificent genus, our " Sardinian Correspondent " has supplied ] 

 us with the following information : — " To flower the Tacsouia successfully, it should be I 

 frequently stopped, as the flowers are produced upon the lateral shoots ; it should be grown in 

 rich soil, and frequently syringed during Avann weather, to induce a vigorous growth ; thus I 

 treated, it will cover a large space in an incredibly short period, and bloom most profusely." j 

 He adds, " I have had T. ignea with from 150 to 200 gorgeous scarlet flowers open at the ' 

 same time." Magnificent greenhouse ornament. Greenhouse twiners. i
