FAMILIAR GARDEN FLOWERS. 



admirably adapted for baskets to suspend in the green- 

 house, but is very happy in a sheltered nook in front of 

 the rockery. 



There are a few hardy species worth a permanent place 

 in the garden. Convolvulus dahuricus is a fine twining 

 perennial with purple flowers. C. sepidm is a grand plant 

 with white flowers, but a dangerous intruder if allowed to 

 run at its own sweet will. C. sylvaticus is a delightful 

 plant to run over a rough bank, and C. scammohia makes 

 a pretty pole plant, full of delicate suggestions for an 

 artist.
