The foregoing Tropaaolums are all beautiful climbers. Azureum and Jarratti are recom- 
mended for the greenhouse to trail over trellises, round pillars, etc. Polyphyllum revels on 
in sunny situations. Tuberosum requires an open situation and poor soil, and should have branches 
to scramble over. Speclosum is one of the most lovely of hardy climbers, and may in the south of 
England be successfully grown if planted in a cool, moist 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.

BARR’S PREPARED CHARCOAL AND COCOA FIBRE. 
For growing Bulbs in Jardinets, Glasses, &c. Fill the Hyacinth glasses with the 
preparation, and then add water till no more can be absorbed. In the glass, place the bulb so 
as to rest the base on the preparation, then tie it down with brown paper as you would a jam-pot, 
leaving an opening in the centre of the paper for the shoot. When the bulb has well rooted the 
paper may be removed ; care must be taken that the material in the glass is kept wet. The 
same remark applies to bulbs grown in vases; they must be kept in place till they have rooted. 
5/- per bush. ; 1/6 per peck.
