PLANTS FOR HANGING BASKETS. 



Please tell me the best plants for 

 porch hanging baskets in the climate of 

 eastern Kansas. F. M. K. 



In flowering plants ivy-leaved gera- 

 niums, Abutilon vexillarium, also called 

 A. megapotamicum, with variegated foli- 

 age, Abutilon Eclipse and petunias are 

 all good. The trailing blue Lobelia gra- 

 cilis would not do well in your climate. 

 In foliage plants variegated vinca is al- 

 ways reliable. Asparagus Sprengeri is 

 also good; in slight shade it will keep 

 a darker color. German ivy, cinnamon 

 vine and English ivy may all be used. In 

 well shaded places nothing succeeds bet- 

 ter than the various nephrolepis, of which 

 the old Boston fern is still one of the 

 best. Of course, all basket plants re- 

 quire an abundant water supply, and 

 stimulants should be added when the 

 earth is well filled with roots. C. W.
