VINES chal Niel rose, the Cherokee rose (7?. Sinica) and the Banksiau rose, M. Bankstif, are all excellent as con- servatory and cool greenhouse climbers. The following are among the choicest for warm house culture: Allamaml.i ^eliotlii and A. Hendersoni are perhaps the best of the allamaudas. They have no in sect enemies and are of easy culture. Among aristo- lochias, A. elegans is the choicest, though A. ornitho- cephulus and A. labiosa are curious. Bongainvilhta speciosd and glabra are handsome stove climbers, and should be included in every collection. They are of easy culture and will Hower profusely if given a light, warm position. Clerodeudron Thoinsonce is perhaps too well known to require any comment. It should be in every collection. Thunhergia laurifoHa is one of the handsomest of the thunbergias. It should be grown where it will be somewhat shaded during the warmer parts of the day, as the petals are so delicate that they fade quickly.

Vines for Southern California. The following list of vines for this section places them very nearly in their proper order as far as popular demand is concerned. One much-used vine, the ivy geranium, is purposely omitted for lack of knowledge as to its proper place in the list, the demand for this vine being somewhat spasmodic. The ivy geranium, being hardy here, is used for a great \ariety of purposes, as hanging bas kets, hedges, and for climbing up the sides and on the roof of a house Passifloras are unpopular here by reason of the numerous cateipillirs fh it mti st them at certain times of the )ear Of tins h^t s / , ,„ 1) ,,,; liindn is probably the most tiT 1 i \\i li tl I i n \ illeas a close second For tht ' \ i r j; i t ii i 1 rl\ oliiects m the least possible tum // n i i I n il i^' 2678) eisilv takes first place ami the Ic.nicLi is will lank ne\t .Several species of jasmines die worthy of men tion hut space forbids, as the list could easily be ex tended to 10) or more.

Hall's Honeysuckle has such fragrant blossoms, is so easily reproduced by cuttings and blooms so freely and for such a long period, that it is more commonly grown in country places than perhaps any other vine. The following lists are not intended to be complete, but rather suggestive; they are believed to include all the species generally grown in middle California. They are thrown into special-purpose groups. Section 1. — For houses and places where dense groivth would be objectionable. This list does not include all the species at present grown in such places, as several that are frequently so grown have proved unsatisfac- tory. ^^, U v^ /^" •\x
