A BRIGHT WINTER-FLOWER-ING CLIMBER.
Manettia bicolour is a plant which deserves greater popularity; few winterflowering plants give as good returns for so small an amount of lalxnir. It is an uncommon plant,, and blooming as it does throughout the winter months, its scarlet and yellow flowers never fail to catch the eve.
Cuttings should be struck in September and potted in two shifts into 6-inch pots, when they may be placed in a cold, partially-shaded frame till March; then topdress them, and place in their winter quarters, which should be in a house where a night temperature of 56 degrees cun be maintained. Tied to the wires on the roof is its ideal situation.
