This is only a half-hardj' border plant, requires to be 

 kept in pots, and nursed in a frame or house to get it to 

 flower before frost sets in. They are propagated by slips 

 taken off in March, by cuttings in May, or by laj-ers in 

 August. The first make tall and strong plants, but the last 

 make the most handsome and bush}'. Large flowers are 

 obtained by thinning the flower-buds, i. e. all the secon- 

 dary- buds are pruned off. Such as flower in a cluster 

 should he thinned more sparingly; the Superb Cluster 

 Yellow, for instance, should be allowed to shew its cha- 

 racter. Gar, Mag.
