IPOMOEA [hA-C-12 ft.] The luxurious rapid growth of this class of 

 climbers recommends them for use as screens over porches and 

 arbors. Their foliage is dense, of varying shades of green, and the 

 leaves of certain sorts are of great size. The flowers resemble those 

 of the Morning Glory, but are usually much larger, and in a broad 

 range of delicate colorings. To hasten the germination, soak the 

 seed for several hours before planting.

 smooth leaves and delightful violet-hued flowers that remain open

IBERIS (Perennial Candytuft) [hP-R-8 in.] Hardy Candytuft is a 

 good plant for the rock garden in late spring. It is of spreading 

 habit and is covered with large flat clusters of small lilac flowers 

 shading white toward the centers of the clusters. It is of easy cul- 

 ture, and, while the flower stalks and foliage die down in the winter, 

 the roots lie dormant, sending up a new growth early the following 

 season.

JOB'S TEARS (Coix Lachryma) [hA-12 in.] The narrow cornlike 

 leaves of this odd ornamental grass bear numerous little sprays of 

 flowers. These soon form seeds which are the most interesting part 

 of the plant. The seeds have a hard lustrous coat of a slaty color, 

 and years ago they were much used for stringing as beads. In 

 arranging bouquets, the leafy stems are attractive as greenery with 

 flowers that have little foliage of their own. ... J^ lb. 30c; pkt. 10c

 red. The plants grow easily in moderately rich soil.
