This fine hot-house climber deserves more attention than it generally gets. It should have a place in every collection of plants, however small. To flower it perfectly, it requires a good season of rest, as it belongs to the deciduous section of the Clerodendron family. As a winter flowering subject, there are few things that I am acquainted with to equal it. I have a plant that at the present time is perfectly covered with bloom, and will last in good condition till after the holidays, which is no small item at this dull season of the year, when flowers are always scarce. Taking into consideration the ease with which it can be flowered at any time of the year, it is a great pity it is not more generally grown. Waterville. New York.
