 of all the simamer climbers. Will grow thirty to forty feet 

 in a single season, and be covered with its large, white 

 flowers every evening and cloudy day. Complaint is some- 

 times made that the seed fails to grow satisfactorily. This 

 is entirely due to the method of treatment. If the hard 

 outer coat of the seed is cut through with a sharp knife and 

 the seed planted in a warm place and the soil kept moist, 

 germination will take place in ten days to two weeks. After 

 the plants are up, keep growing vigorously and plant out in 

 very rich soil when danger from frost is past. Sold also as
