General Observations. 
For description, &c., of the Iudigofera, see 
| preceding page. 
Charming plant for pots, vases, oi rockeries. 
Convolvulus. Of all flowers in general culti- 
vation, the Ipomsea ranks pre-eminent for 
delicate and intrinsic beauty : the brilliant 
and varied hues of its many species and vari- 
eties are marvellously beautiful, and their 
finefoliageand gracefulformsrendcrthetn in- 
separable adornments for every Greenhouse, 
Conservatory, Hothouse, or general garden 
throughout the kingdom. As all the plants 
belonging to this tribe are handsome, it, is a 
work of great difficulty to select any for 
particular recommendation ; we will, how- 
ever, specify a few that are the most marked 
in their characteristics. I. rubro-casrulea is 
perhaps unequalled for the size and beauty 
of its blossoms of a brilliant sky-blue colour. 
I. Quamoclit, 1. coccinea, and their varieties 
would mingle admirably with thewell-known 
Canary Creeper. I. hederacea and varieties 
are very beautiful ; hut the most interesting 
variety of late introduction is I. limbata 
elegantissima, which has a five-pointed star 
of intense violet-blue, with a broad margin 
of pure white. Such kinds as digitata, gran- 
diflora, and rubro-cajrulea require strong 
heat to raise seedlings, but will afterwards 
grow well in a moderate greenhouse. 
Greenhouse varieties ot this charming tribe 
do not require much heat : Half-hardy kinds 
should he sown on slight hot-lied, and 
transplanted out of doors in May : light rich 
loamy soil is suitable for all. 
Most beautiful plants for beds, with long 
spikes of scarlet and orange flowers. Sow 
in well-drained pots in fibry loam : keep in 
greenhouse in winter, and plant out in June. 
| Very pretty, long-blooming plants, good for 
i- beds. Sow in heat, prick out, harden off, 
J and plant out in May. 
Good garden soil. 
Usual greenhouse treatment. 
Magnificent stove plants : sow in hot-lied, and 
>- grow in peat and loam with plenty of bottom 
heat. 
Jessamine. Sow under glass and transplant. 
Juniper Tree: well-known useful Shrubs. 
Sow in gentle heat, and plant into pots when 
sufficiently large : very good for Shrub- 
beries, &c. 
J 
Handsome Tree. 
Dwarf hardy Annuals : good garden soil. 
these Climbers are among the most striking of 
Greenhouse ornaments, and deserve more 
extensive cultivation than has hitherto been 
extended to them, and few plants are more 
serviceable for Conservatory decoration; their 
bright colours impart a most cheerful appear- 
ance during the early part of the season, and 
if trained round fanciful wire shapes a pecu- 
liarly interesting effect is produced.
