Sow seed either indoors or in hot-beds or directly in the open ground as soon as warm and weather is settled, 

 giving good, light, rich soil and do not plant too deep. As soon as voung plants are large enough thin out or trans- 

 plant to permanent position. While little care need be given this delightful class of plants, you will be well repaid 

 by giving the beds a medium amount of water and thorough cultivation, and in the instance of biennial or perennial 

 varieties cover with straw or litter every fall to protect them from any sudden changes which may have a tendency 

 to affect them. The following selection is all that can be desired among climbers:
