l82 HOME FLORICULTURE 



It should be potted in fall, several roots in a pot, and 

 given a sunny place. It blooms profusely and con- 

 stantly during the entire season. 



The Trailing Lantana 



This is a charming basket plant because of its 

 free flowering qualities. Its flowers are similar in 

 shape and size to those of the shrubby Lantana. In 

 color they are a rosy mauve. They are produced with 

 such profusion that the entire plant seems enveloped 

 in a cloud of dainty bloom which hides the foliage 

 almost completely. It can be cut back from time to 

 time, and made to become very bushy and compact. 

 It blooms during the greater part of the year, if allowed 

 to have its own way. Plants for winter use, however, 

 ought to be cut back sharply in August, and made to 

 produce an entire new growth of branches for winter.
