Entrance porch and window box. Ampelopsis Veitchii is well and freely used 



Dracaena indivisa is always useful in the porch box. When its 

 usefulness in the box is over it may be potted and kept all Winter. 



The excellent clear colors of Verbenas are always admirable when 

 used alone or in combination. They flower profusely and continue 

 fresh in appearance. 



The Nasturtium is incomparable for filling urns or for porch 

 decoration. For a northern exposure the tuberous Begonia is excellent. 

 The colors of the single as well as the double varieties are very effec- 

 tive. They should always have the best soil available.
