tical with the maurandia, save that the throats 
of the rather tubular flowers are closed, while 
those of the maurandia are open; and the foliage, 
instead of being incised, is lobed and similar to 
the common ivy. This vine, which deserves to 
be far better known, should have a good, sunny 
location. Sow the seed in the greenhouse about 
March 1 and the vines will attain a height of 
six to eight feet out of doors. 
The only really good shade plant among the 
annual vines is the Kenilworth ivy (Linaria 
Cymbalaria). This is a capital ground cover 
for shady places, and is very attractive, being 
covered all through the season with small lilac 
flowers. It self-sows freely.
