MYRSIPHYLLUM (Similax). 



There is no climbing plant in cultivation that surpasses 

 this in the graceful beauty of its foliage, and its peculiar 

 wavy formation renders it one of the most valuable of 

 all plants for vases or hanging baskets, as it can be used 

 cither to climb or to droop, as required; with cut flow- 

 ers, particularly in wreaths, it is now considered indis- 

 pensable by florists 25

 for the reason that they stand any amount of heat and

 matter how high the thermometer may record. They 

 flower better, however, in a poor, rocky soil, as a rich 

 one hasa tendency to make them "run to leaf." Hardy
