burgh Botanic Gardens, who also raised C. Thomsonias So 
writes Mr. Jackson, of Kingston, by whom the plant was ex¬ 
hibited during the present season, when it obtained a first-class 
certificate. 
Mr. Jackson has kindly given us the following notes on its 
cultivationThe cultivation of Clerodendron T. Balfourii is 
very simple. Pot in free rich mould. During the summer 
give strong heat, a liberal supply of water, and as much light 
as possible : keep the plant well spurred. In August ripen off 
the growth that has been made by withholding water and giving 
more air. During winter, if the wood is well ripened, it may 
be kept in a temperature of fifty degrees, and break stronger 
than if kept in greater heat.”
