e Few plants are more easily grown or remain longer in bloom than the Tropaeolum 
with its large shield-shaped leaves and beautifully irregular flowers having long 
] mM spurs and brilliantly colored petals. In favorable soil, flowers are produced in 
abundance throughout the season. Much used for window boxes. If the black aphis 
appears, spray the foliage vigorously with water. 
Seed is usually sown outdoors, as soon as the weather is warm and settled, in the row where the plants are to remain.

fine soil firmly pressed down. A sunny situation is essential for free blooming. If the soil is very rich the plants give a large 
emount of foliage but few flowers. For earlier blooming, start’ indoors and transplant to the open ground after danger of 
Tost is over.
