select plants for the north side of the porch or 

 for the north windows. .Trailing fuchsias, ivy 

 geraniums, fancy caladiums, vincas, asparagus, 

 Japanese morning-glories, glechoma and be- 

 gonias are all suitable, to say nothing of the 

 numerous ferns. The common "umbrella 

 plant" also does well in such situations, but 

 requires more water than the others. 



For boxes on the south, geraniums, antir- 

 rhinums ("snap-dragons"), heliotrope, mau- 

 randya. Phlox Drummondii, nasturtiums, ager- 

 atum, weeping lantana, crotons, abutilons, 

 coleus, are all excellent, while on the east use 

 tuberous begonias, nasturtiums, thunbergias. 

 vincas, ivy geraniums, heliotrope, manettias, 

 maurandya, antirrhinums and ferns.
