In winter it should be kept partially dormant at a tem- perature suited to carnations (say 50-60° Enrich the soil every year. Propagated by cuttings of last year's growth iu spring. Good seeds are rarely produced under glass. When planted in the open in warm countries, it thrives best in partial shade. Very liable to mealy bug. S. Tlioudrsii, Brongn., from Madagascar, appears to be the only other species in cult., but it is not in the American trade. It has obovate lvs., fls. in 3's, and sepals about one-third the length of the corolla-tube. L. H. B. Steplianotis floribunda is one of the handsomest of our wannhouse climbers, blooming in spring and sum- mer. In the days when short blooms were used in bouquets it was one of the most valuable flowers that the florist had, its large waxy umbels having a delicious odor. It should be kept about 60° during the winter, with less water. In the summer it delights in the tem- perature of our warmest houses with plenty of syring- ing. When given too much root room it grows very rampant and is less inclined to flower. Therefore a tub or a border where its roots are restricted is better, with an annual top-dressing of good manure. Its great- est enemy is the mealy bug, which, if allowed to get
