} Two fine plants for pillars. 
Bignonia Cherii. 
Maurandia. — All the three species of Maurandia are nearly hardy. They 
thrive freely in any light rich soil, and are propagated freely by seeds which they 
produce in abundance ; cuttings of the young wood also grow, if planted in light j 
soil, and plunged in a little heat. 
Passiflora. — All the green-house species of Passijiora require to be planted 
in a mixture of loam and peat ; they are very handsome ; bloom very freely. They , 
may be propagated by cuttings of the young and tender shoots, planted in light \ 
soil, and plunged in a little heat. \ 
Brachysema. — The B, latifolia is a most beautiful plant for a pillar or trellis. 
It does well planted out in equal parts of peat and sandy loam from a pasture field. 
They are propagated both by layers and cuttings ; the latter should be planted in 
fine white sand, and be covered with a glass. j 
Kennedia. — All the species recommended above require to be planted in a ' 
mixture of sandy loam and peat, in the proportions of two-thirds of the former to 
one-third of the latter. Cuttings strike root easily, if planted in pots of light soil, 
and plunged in heat. 
Ruscus ANDROGYNUS. — Though many plants make a far greater show than this 
does, yet the curious manner in which its flowers are produced, and other pecu- 
liarities, render it well deserving a place in the greenhouse. It should be planted 
in equal parts of peat and loam ; and may be increased by division oi the roots and 
suckers. 
Rhodochiton. — For the manner of treating, see Magazine of Botany for 
March, 1835, page 27. 
Trop^olum. — The two species named above are very easy of culture, thriving 
in . equal parts of peat and loam, and may be easily propagated by cuttings and 
seeds ; the former strike very well with us, if planted in light soil or sand, and be | 
plunged in a little heat. 
Bignonia. — The two species noticed should be planted in an equal mixture of |
