FLOWERING PLANTS 



jasmine (Rhynchospermum jasminoides); 

 Potato vine (^Solarium j a sminotdes); Stephan- 

 otis floribunda, and the ¥/ax plant (Hoy a 

 carnosd). 



Annuals to be grown from seeds or cut- 

 tings each year: Monkey flower (Mijnulus 

 ttgrtnus); stocks, wallflower (Cheiranthus 

 Cheirt); sensitive plant (^Mimosa pudica). 



For summer flowers in the house grow 

 tuberous rooted begonias. These must be 

 started in March, and in September, when 

 the bulbs have ripened, store in a cool, 

 dry place. 



A word of encouragement may be wise 

 here: While the soil recommendations given 

 in the preceding pages are sound, and desir- 

 able for the best results, still the plant lover 

 need not forego the pleasure of his favourites 

 because the exact conditions cannot be sup- 

 plied. With intelligent care and loving 

 attention much is often accomplished with 

 very ordinary soils indeed. Therefore I say, 

 try with the best approach to the ideal that 

 you can have.
