TROPJl'OlUM, Nat. Ord. Tropceola' cece. 



A tribe of elegant growing, profusc-floAvering, and easily cultivated climbers, combining 

 with these important qualities great richness and Imlliancy of colour, with finely formed 

 and beautifully mai'ked flowers. For pillars and rafters, in the gieenhousc or conservatory, 

 they arc invaluable ; for covering trellises, verandahs, and bowers out of doors, they are 

 of equal importance ; while for bedding purposes we have only to remind our readers 

 the important part they annually play on the teiTaces of the Crystal Palace. When used for 

 bedding they should be regularly and' carefully pegged down, interlacing the shoots, and occa- 

 sionally removing the large leaves. In pleasure gi-ounds, where the beds arc sometimes 

 protected with fancy wire- work against the depredations of rabbits and hares, the TropsEolums 

 arc invaluable for covering it ; they gi'ow rapidly, arc easily trained, and continue flowering the 

 whole summer and autumn. 



The varieties we enumerate below have been saved from the valuable collection in the pos- 

 session of our " Sardinian CoRREsroNDEXx," who, although he does not guarantee that they 

 will be always true to the parent stock, yet, from repeated experiments we can safely say they 

 will pi'ovc equally fine, and as Ave enumerate only first-class kinds, the amateur may often have 

 varieties far surpassing our description, both as regards shape and colour. WeSinay remark 

 that all the " Lobbianuni " varieties bloom beiuitifully tln-ough the winter months in the green- 

 house or conservatory, so that Mhere cut flowers arc in demand they Avill be found an 

 invaluable acquisition. Grow freely in light rich soil. Ilalf-hardi/ annuals.
