This structure is a green-house communicating with the residence, having borders and beds in which to grow its tenant plants; or it may be an appendage to the dwelling, of moderate size, into which the plants from the green-house are removed whilst in bloom, thus concentrating the more attractive specimens, and presenting a continuous show of flowers.

Good plants for turning out into the beds of a conservatory are: - Templetonia Glauca; Luculia gratissima; Eu-taxia myrtifolia; Pimelea spectabilis; Chorozema varium; Brugmansia sanguinea; Crowea saligna; Cytisus race-mosus; Horea Celsi; together with Camellias, and the different kinds of Acacia.

Mr. Beaton observes, that - "In some instances the more hardy stove climbers are now planted out into the conservatory after they have been grown in vineries, or other forcing-houses, or in stoves, till they are long enough to reach the top of the house at once, which is kept sufficiently close to afford them the necessary temperature. Many of this class must necessarily be left naked at bottom, where the air of the house is too cold for their young shoots, and thus a space is left for choice woody plants that are not climbers, among which the subject of these remarks may take a leading place.

"At present, when climbers get naked at the bottom, the practice is either to cover the parts with long shoots from the top of the house, or to plant slender-growing climbers round them; but a better way would be to select fine plants, not exceeding ten or twelve feet in a rich border, or that might be easily kept to be the required height, by pruning, such plants being remarkable for some peculiar feature, such as a graceful mode of growth, fine foliage, conspicuous or sweet-scented flowers, etc. A situation of this kind would suit Lucuiia gratissima, particularly if it happened to be near the doors or source of ventilation.

"This beautiful shrub, so lovely in the autumn, although a strong growing plant, is a delicate feeder; and a strong climber planted behind it may be said to assist its growth rather than impede it, by appropriating to itself the more gross parts of the soil in the border. If the climber, however, is of the very fibrous-rooted kind, like the ash, few plants can compete with it for nourishment; whereas such climbers as Ipo-mcea, Horsfalliae, Combretum purpu-reum, Beaumontia grandiflora,and most of the Passion flowers, Hardenbergias, Zichyas, etc., form their roots differently, and are suitable for this kind of furnishing when they become naked below. Plants for such a purpose ought to be well established and of considerable size, before they are finally planted out; and all plants, whether climbers or otherwise, that have been first reared in the stove, or in heat, ought to be thus treated, otherwise it is found in practice that many of them make little progress for the first season or two.

"Another cause which operates against the free progress of some climbers is, that for the sake of convenience they are increased from cuttings of the flowering shoots, which are more or less stunted, and the young plants for a time retain that character, until forced by a good feeding or strong heat to assume their native freedom; and even after that is effected, if they are afterwards much confined in small pots, they become again stunted; then the best remedy is to cut them down to the surface of the ground, and force them in a hot-bed to make a fresh growth. Beaumontia grandiflora, and some of the stove Bignonias, are the first to suffer from either cause; yet when they are young and vigorous, they grow from ten to twenty feet in length in one season, and some Bignonias even much more. The former should be about two or three years old, and from fifteen to twenty feet in length before it is planted in the conservatory, where it flowers freely for two or three months, in terminal heads, of large white trumpet-shaped flowers." - Gard.
