LATHYRUS, Latifolius (Peren- 

 nial Sweet Pea) [hP-C-5 ft.] 

 This sturdy vine with luxuri- 

 ant pea-like foliage bears 

 handsome flowers, also pea- 

 shaped, in large clusters of 

 8 or 10 each; they are some- 

 what thick and waxy in 

 appearance. The vine may be 

 trained upon a support, but 

 it is also well adapted to 

 scramble over rocks and other 

 rugged places. The plants 

 bloom for a long period, al- 

 though in a northern latitude 

 they die at frost to renew 

 growth in the spring.

LAVATERA (Annual Mallow) [hA-3 ft.] The showy flowers and large downy 

 leaves of these annual Mallows produce a decorati^-e effect in hedges or 

 borders. The large cup-shaped blooms, two to three inches across, are borne 

 on short stems in the axils of the upper leaves. They bloom profusely during 

 the entire summer and make long-keeping cut flowers. In habit thej' are 

 rather spreading, but this is an advantage as they maj' be sown late to fill 

 a vacant spot following spring flowers.
