how sweet they are ! You find it is 

 somewhat cooler in this other end of 

 the house ; and here is a i,'rand show of 

 Oinei-arias and Primuhis, all in bloom. 

 We pass into another apartment tind- 

 ini; it warmer. Oh, the roses ! What 

 is there so lovely 1 Here we are in a 

 warmer part, where the foliage plants, 

 especially the beautiful Coleses, of all 

 colors flourish ; but let us now retrace 

 our steps, and finish our talk about 

 vines fur the window and for the 

 hanging basket. One of the most 

 accommodating and easily grown is the 



is too strong a grower for l)askets, but 

 does nicely for the window, and better 

 still for the verandah. It will run up 

 twenty feet if desired, bearing beauti- 

 ful, bell-shaped flowers of a purple 

 hue. There is also a variety with a 

 white flower, and another with varie 

 gated foliage and purple flowers. This 

 latter kind is not grown from seed, 

 only fiom cuttings. Coba-a seed is 

 large, and flat or thin, with little 

 substance. The seed must be planted 

 edgewise to germinate, for if allowed 

 to lie flat it will not grow, but speedily 

 rot. 



Another very suitable one for baskets 



easily grown from seed, and may be 

 had in mixed colors, such as purple, 

 pink and white. It is excellejit for 

 hanging baskets as well as for the win- 

 dow, it will also do well out of doors. 



The flowers are from one inch to one 

 inch and a-half in diameter. It may 

 be easily grown from the seed. The 

 colors are buf!" with black eye, white 

 with black eye, and self colors of buff, 

 yellow and white. This vine is ex 

 tremely ornamental, and for baskets 

 or vases, there are few plants superior 

 to it. It may also be used in beds out 

 of doors, in which case it should be 

 pegged down like Verbenas. 



LOPHOSPERMUM 



is another strong grower which does 

 well in the house, basket or vase. Tt
