CLIMBERS, continued. 
Standard Standard. Climber. Name. Description. 
cool house, either planted out in the house or on a standard briar 
stem with the root planted outside in a carefully prepared bed, and 
the head carried under glass through the wood or wall side, just so 
as to appear above any staging (much in the same way as with 
vines). After planting remember the dry atmosphere of the house 
is likely to cause the shoots to die back unless frequently syringed 
until it is established and growing ; water must also be given at the 
root when required. Prune hard back the first season to produce 
growth of two or three good strong shoots for training along or up 
the house about 18 in. from the glass, the next and following seasons 
cut back directly after flowering to these strong selected horizontal 
and upright shoots, from which you will thus get fresh wood for the 
next year’s flowering. When the growth is young it should be 
carefully watched for mildew, this is generally caused by giving air 
on a cold or windy day, the disease spread^ very rapidly if neglected, 
care must be taken to stop it immediately it makes its appearance 
(see page 8). Feed the plant well when thoroughly established and 
flowering freely. The above treatment would also apply to other 
good climbing Teas and Noisettes planted under glass.
