must be kept off. For soils, growing in summer, 
etc., see Part II, page 188. 
The best varieties for house culture are the Crim- 
son Baby Rambler (Mme. Norbert Levavasseur), 
Pink Baby Rambler (Anchen Muller), Crimson 
Rambler, Clothilde Soupert, Agrippina, Hermosa, 
Safrano, Maman Cochet, White Maman Cochet 
and La France. 
If the plants are set in a window-box (see page 9) 
about one foot apart, they will be more easily cared 
for than in pots. They may be treated in two ways. 
(1) After blooming, cut away most of the old 
growth and enforce rest during the summer. Start 
again in October and grow on in the house. (2) 
Grow on through the summer and dry off in the 
fall as the leaves drop. Store in a cold place (a 
little freezing will not hurt) until about January 
first. Then prune back severely — about half — 
and bring into warmth and water. A combination 
of the two methods will give a long flowering sea- 
son. 
Swainsona—A shrub of vine-like habit, bearing 
flowers, white and light pink, which greatly resem- 
ble sweet peas. The foliage is unusual and very 
pretty. It should be trained up to stakes or other 
supports and cut back quite severely after flowering. 
Sweet Olive (Olea fragrans)—This is still an- 
other fragrant flowering shrub and one of the very 
easiest to grow.
