LIST OF CLIMBERS FOR GREEN-HOUSE.

peat and sandy loam. Propagate by cuttings of the young wood, which should be 
planted in light soil, and plunged in heat. 
Clematis. — These will grow in any light rich soil, and may be propagated by 
cuttings. 
Billardiera. — These two species are of very easy culture, if planted in sandy 
loam and peat. They produce seeds, which should be sown in the spring ; cuttings 
will also grow if planted in sand, and covered with a glass. 
Podolobium. — The soil most suitable for these is two parts of very sandy peat, 
and one part of light loam. They are propagated by cuttings, taken off when half 
ripe, and planted in sand, and covered with a glass. 
Caprifolium. — These require the most simple culture; any light rich, soil will 
answer for them, and they may be very easily propagated by cuttings, plunged in a 
little heat. 
Coecea scandens. — This species will soon cover a very large space in the 
greenhouse ; it produces an abundance of flowers, and, in general, plenty of seeds* 
by which it is easily propagated ; it may also be increased readily by cuttings 
planted in light soil, and plunged in heat. Any light rich mould will suit it. 
Jasminum. — These species may be planted in equal parts of loam, peat, and 
leaf mould, or very rotten dung. They are very easily propagated by cuttings of 
the young wood planted in sand, and covered with a glass. 
Fuchsia. — A soil similar to that for the jasmine will suit these. They are 
easily propagated by cuttings of the young and tender shoots planted in sand, and 
plunged in a little heat, under glass. 
Manettia. — The species recommended is of very easy culture, and grows 
very rapidly. It strikes freely from cuttings planted in sand, and placed under a 
hand-glass, in heat. The soil is sandy loam and peat. 
Combretum. — The species recommended as a green-house climber must be 
planted in a warm situation, or it will not prosper. It thrives in a mixture of 
loam and peat, and is propagated by cuttings planted in pots of sand, and plunged 
in heat. 
Glycine. — These are of easy culture, growing freely in any light rich mould. 
The G. Sinensis is a delightful plant for the trellis of a conservatory ; in the open 
air the flowers are liable to be damaged with the early spring frosts, but in a house 
it continues flowering all summer. 
Jonesia. — This, like the species of Combretum, must be planted in a warm 
situation in the green-house to do well ; it thrives best in the stove. The mode of 
propagation is by cuttings, and the best soil is sandy peat and loam. 
Lophospermum. — See page 27- 
Sollya. — These are nearly hardy, and if planted in loam and peat will thrive 
very vigorously. They are readily increased by cuttings, planted in sand, and 
plunged in a little heat.
