vines and hedge plants 



HUNNEMANNIA (Bush Eschscholtzia) [hA-18 in.] Mem- 

 bers of the poppy family rarely make good cut flowers, but 

 this, the Santa Barbara poppy, is an exception. It is also 

 attractive in the border. Bushy in habit, with silvery-green 

 foliage, it bears long-stemmed, cup-shaped flowers, often 

 3 inches across and pure lemon yellow in color. The blooms 

 continue during the summer and until late fall.

Hyacinth Bean (See Dohchos) 



IBERIS (Perennial Candytuft) [hP-R-8in.] 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 culture, 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.

INCARVILLEA (Hardy Gloxinia) [hP-18 in.] From among 

 China's treasures comes this choice perennial. It produces a 

 group of vivid green leaves, similar to the Ailanthus in 

 form, above which tall strong stems carry several tubular 

 flowers. These blossoms have a broad expanded five-lobed 

 brim and are rich rosy carmine with bronze marking at the 

 throats, much like the Gloxineas. It succeeds well in 

 the sunny border.

IPOMOEA [hA-C-12ft.] 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.

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

 like leaves of this odd ornamental grass bear numerous 

 little sprays of flowers. These soon form seed 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 bou- 

 quets, the leafy stems are attractive as greenery with 

 flowers that have little foliage of their own .341b.30c;pkt.lOc

 easily in moderately rich soil.
