THE FLORIST AND POMOLOGIST. 
[ July, 
the highest beauty and abundance of prolonged bloom, it has the great merit of 
being a clean plant, not a nuisance to keep clear of green-fly, like the Mande~ 
villa^ or of scale and mealy-bug, like some of the Tacsontas, and others. The 
treatment, too, is quite simple: cut in close in winter, and allow it to take its 
own way in the growing season, and thus will be secured a mass of pleasant 
green through the summer, and in autumn every shoot will bend down with its 
lovely crest of blue. It may be planted anywhere in the floor of a conservatory, 
or in a bed of any kind, and should be cut in with a free hand in winter. 
Cantua dependens is magnificent when planted against the back wall of a 
conservatory, or in any suitable position in the conservatory, and allowed to make 
a free full growth there. It has a fine effect trained up a pillar. It should be 
planted in a good free loam, but it is not particular as to soil. In South Devon 
•it flowers splendidly on the open walls. 
From the great fragrance and value in winter of the flowers of Jabminum 
GRAND iFLORUM —the Catalonian Jasmine—this plant is well worth planting out 
in an intermediate house or warm greenhouse, there to afford a profusion of its 
flowers—of so much importance for bouquet-making or indoor decoration, or 
in fact, for any of the purposes of the decorating horticulturist. 
Ehynohospermum jasminoides, so often shown well in pots, is a fine thing to 
plant out in the warm greenhouse or intermediate house. It should have a nice 
position near the glass, and requires very little more care as to choice of position 
and attention, than Cobea scandens oxPassijlora ccerulea^vjiih. which some embellish 
their conservatories. One can fancy nothing more beautiful than wreaths of this 
Ehynohospermum in a rather low position near the glass towards the front of a 
house, of a temperature suited to its wants. It is a sweet and beautiful thing 
grown in any way. 
Wherever there are conservatory walls or large wall-spaces in conservatories, 
a place should be found for the Datura, or Brugmansia suaveolens, a noble 
plant when planted in such a position, and whose large white pendent flowers, 
popularly called Angels’ Trumpets, would diffuse their sweetness through the 
house, even though it were as large as the conservatory at Ohatsworth. A fine 
flower like this, which opens and breathes fragrance when animated nature is 
drowsy or asleep, is certain to command admiration.—T. M. 
CYCLAMEN EEPANDUM. 
f MADE a very useful discovery during a late visit to some very interest¬ 
ing “ trial grounds,” belonging to Messrs. Barr and Sugden. It is, that 
? Cyclamen repandum is a perfect gem of a plant for planting upon con¬ 
spicuously bare places, under overhanging trees of the evergreen type. 
Independently of its flowers, which are pushed up much in the way of our Persian 
species, Cyclamen persicum, and are of a bright magenta-colour, this very distinct 
species is a foliage-plant of the first water. Not only are the leaves beautiful, 
as all Cyclamen-leaves are, in regard to their characteristic markings, but those of
