PLANTS FOR VASES AND BOXES. 



Will you kindly give me a list of 

 plants suitable for vases, hanging bas- 

 kets and porch boxes. I wish to begin 

 now to prepare plants for collections, to 

 be used in this way next spring. Would 

 agaves in variety be of much use? It 

 seems difficult to provide color for the 

 baskets. C. S. M.-N. Y. 



Some plants which are well adapted 

 for the purposes named are: Begonia 

 gracilis and La Vesuve, scarlet; Abu- 

 tilon megapotamicum, Savitzii, Dar- 

 winii tessellatum and vexillarium; 

 Swainsona galegifolia alba and rosea; 

 thunbergias, tradescantias, Vinca ma- 

 jor variegata, tall nasturtiums, Cobaea 

 scandens, Maurandia Barclaiana, Eng- 

 lish ivy; geraniums, all varieties, the 

 ivy-leaved section being best for hang- 

 ing baskets; Asparagus Sprengeri, Ficus 

 repens, Senecio scandens, or German 

 ivy; petunias, Lobelia speciosa, Ian- 

 tanas, heliotropes; fuchsias, where they 

 get a little shade; variegated stevias, 

 glechomas, etc. 



In addition, such palms as Latania 

 Borbonica, Phoenix rupicola and Canari- 

 ensis, Dracaena australis, agaves, Neph- 

 rolepis Bostoniensis, etc., may be used 

 in the larger vases. You can get 

 plenty of variegation from variegated 

 vincas, abutilons, tradescantias and 

 stevias, Crotons may be used if you 

 are partial to colored-leaved plants, 

 but personally I prefer green-leaved 

 subjects. I am also decidedly of the 

 opinion that the best effect is obtained 

 by planting one variety, or at most 

 two varieties, in a vase. You will find 

 plenty of hanging basket material in 

 the foregoing list. C. W.
