Soapy water would be very serviceable 
, r the woodwork. In the case of the glass 
self we think you will have no difficulty 
1 washing off all sooty deposits simply by 
le aid of water alone. If the wood is in 
ny way difficult to clean you can employ 
solution of washing soda of moderate 
rength and that will have a much greater 
feet upon the soot and other filth deposited 
pon the woodwork. After having well 
etted all parts of the roof, even if with 
ater only, you can then commence on the 
oodwork with the washing soda, using a 
rubbing brush.

lematls paniculata. 
The above is a very floriferous Clema- 
is from Japan, which seems to be better 
mown in America than here. In this 
ountry, however, seems to flower as 
>rofusely, and is of such vigorous growth 
hat it should be largely employed for 
raining on the walls of houses and for 
overing bowers, summer houses, arbours 
md pergolas. The flowers are made up, 
s a rule, of four sepals, which are pure 
flute, starry, and emit a fragrance like 
hat of Hawthorn. It blooms during 
September and October, but owing to the 
lumber of flowers and their purer white, 
he species is really superior to the well- 
mown C. Flammula. If planted where 
t could be allowed to g^ow with the 
ullest freedom it would produce immense 
juantities of flowers for cutting, and 
vhich could be used in vases in the home. 
The plant is perfectly hardy, and grows 
o a height of 30 ft. or more. It should 
tot, therefore, be planted in confined 
spaces, but where it would be con¬ 
venient to allow it to assume its natural 
limensions. At that period of the year 
ew things could heat it when seen in this 
ioriferous condition. 
Giant Barberton Daisy. 
From all accounts it would seem that 
the Barberton Daisy is undergoing great 
improvements in the matter of size at 
New York: ‘‘The Florists' Exchange” 
gives a photographic illustration of a 
bloom measuring 5 in. in diameter. The 
original flower was said to be just half 
that width. In combination with the 
large flower the plant has also increased 
in stature from 12 in. or 18 in. to 3 ft. 
in height. It is stated that twenty-two 
flowers were counted at the same time 
upon a two-year-old plant. It also blooms 
throughout the year with a rest of two 
months in summer and in winter. The 
colour is scarlet and the flower lasts 
more than ten days in water.
