LAPAGERIA. 



Will you kindly give me a description 

 of the climbing plant lapageria and its 

 botanical name? S. L. 



The lapageria is a half-hardy ever- 

 green climber allied to the smilaxes. 

 L. rosea is the only species. The com- 

 mon name is Chilean bellflower. The 

 acuminate leaves are produced alter- 

 nately. The bell-shaped flowers are large 

 and showy, borne in the upper axils. 

 The flowers of the species are rose col- 

 ored, but there are white and several 

 named horticultural varieties. It is a 

 suitable plant for walls or rafters in 

 a cool house or for outdoors in the mild- 

 er parts of the country. It is not of 

 easy culture, but Prof. Bailey says it is 

 worth a wider use in America.

LIFTING HYACINTHS. 



A correspondent writes: "Tell 

 through the Review the cause of hya- 

 cinths dropping their flowers after being 

 brought into the house. I lost fully 

 one-half of my hyacinths. The flower 

 spike pulled out before opening the flow- 

 ers. Is it a disease or bad manage- 

 ment?" 



We have in some seasons lost a good 

 many, but this year not over a dozen out 

 of 2,000. It nearly always occurs with 

 the early forced plants, when the bud 

 is small and low down among the leaves. 

 We do not think it is any fault of the 

 bulbs, as there is no sign of disease 

 above or below where the stem separates. 

 The buds sit there surrounded with 

 leaves, looking perfect until you lift and 

 find that it is entirely severed immedi- 

 ately below the flower. Our own solu- 

 tion (and this may be wrong) is that 

 the leaves clasping the bud tightly 

 shoot up quicker than the flower and 

 with strength suflScient to break it off.

A FLORAL CARPET. 



I intend to make a floral carpet and I 

 would like some florist to please give 

 instructions how to build the frame and 

 give the width of same. W. D. 



At first I was under the impression 

 that what is known as a carpet bed was 

 meant, but it seems that a design in cut 

 flowers is intended and to be the design 

 of a carpet. If not more than four or 

 five feet square a frame of %-inch 

 boards with a 2-inch or 3-inch edging

would do, but there should be two 6-inch 

 boards running across the frame to stif- 

 fen it. This frame or box could be 

 filled with sand and covered with ferns 

 and the edges painted green. If the de- 

 sign is larger, then the simplest way 

 would be to put down strips 1-inch to 3- 

 inch and fastened securely and then fill 

 in with sand and cover with ferns. This 

 would necessitate the design being made 

 on the sod. If six feet or over a plan 

 of the design should be drawn to a scale, 

 say one foot in six feet, and if the de- 

 sign was correctly drawn it would be 

 simple to work it out full size. W. S.
