LIST OF CLIMBERS FOR GREENHOUSE. 
Jasminum. — These are plants of easy culture, requiring to be planted in a mix- 
ture of rich light loam and peat, and are easily propagated by cuttings of the half 
ripened wood, either planted in sand or light soil, and plunged in a little heat. 
They are excellent for pillars and rafters. 
Olax. — These require similar culture to the Jasmines, and may also be propa- 
gated by cuttings. 
Combretum. — The whole of this genus is composed of plants of great beauty. 
They require a strong moist heat, in which they will flower freely. Half ripened 
cuttings, planted either in sand or light soil, will strike freely if plunged in heat 
and covered with a glass. They are well suited for either trellis or rafters, and 
flourish in a mixture of loam and peat. C. grandiflorum will grow in a warm 
greenhouse, and may therefore, when in the stove, be planted in a cool part. 
Thunbergia. — All the species require similar treatment to that given for 
T. alata. See page 2 of this Volume. 
Ceropegia. — These plants are not so striking for beauty as for their curious 
appearance ; they wiH~grow freely in loam and peat, and may be increased both by 
cuttings and dividing the root. Suited either for rafters or pillars. 
Solandra. — These are not properly climbing plants, they, however, look very 
well trained against a trellis at the back wall of a stove ; and when in flower make 
a great show. They are easily propagated by cuttings planted in soil and plunged 
in heat. 
Columnea — The plants of this genus seldom run up very high, but appear 
most calculated for low trellis, where they will grow and flower vigorously. If they, 
however, be overwatered, they soon disappear. They strike very freely from cut- 
tings planted in light soil, and placed in a warm situation. The best soil is a mix- 
ture of loam and peat. 
Argyreia. — All the species of this genus should be planted in good light loam, 
or a mixture of loam and peat. The Argyreia cuneala is a very free flowerer, 
and requires much less room than the other species of this genus. They are easily 
propagated by cuttings, planted in light soil and plunged in heat. 
Amphodus. — This plant is rather tender, and requires a warm part of the stove, 
where, up a rafter or a wire, it will run ten or twelve feet. It requires sandy loam, 
and is increased by cuttings and seeds. 
Cylista. — These are of very easy culture, calculated for pillars, should be 
planted in light soil, and may readily be increased by cuttings. 
BrGNONiA. — All the species of this genus are very handsome when in flower, 
but they require a deal of room to show themselves to perfection. A little rich 
light loam suits them well, and the Gracilis does best planted in a cool part of the 
house. They are readily increased by cuttings plunged in heat. 
Boerhaavta. — Is very easy of culture, growing freely in a light rich loam, and 
is propagated by cuttings of the young shoots, and planted when quite tender in 
light soil, and plunged in a moist heat. 
Roxburgia. — Should be planted in sandy loam and peat, and may be increased 
by division of the roots. 
Clematis are either suitable for pillars or trellis, they require a good deal of
