sunny positions in the flower border. Beds of Tigridias make a gorgeous picture during J uly,

TRITELEIA. See Milla. 
TRITQNIA. In habit and growth resembling the Spara.xis, but the prevailing colours differ, 
and flowering later it forms a most important succession. The colours range from huff to 
rose and the richest glowing orange, the flowers always having a beautiful transparency. For 
pot-culture they are most valuable. Culture same as for Ixias.

TROPAEOLUM, all beautiful climbers. Azureum and Jarratti are recommended for 
the greenhouse to trail over trellises, round pillars, &c. Polyphyllum revels on dry sunny 
slopes. Tuberosum requires an open sunny situation and poor soil, and should have 
branches to scramble over. SpeeiOSlim may be successfully grown in the south of Eng- 
land if planted in a cool, moist, or shady situation, away from the sun’s rays ; it delights in a 
shady place, and especially near a stream where its roots can reach the water. In hot dry 
districts we have also grown it successfully, planted close against the north side of evergreen 
hedges.
