 choose vines oF the Morning Glory class.

 plants, related to the Celosias, do best in open sunny spots. They 

 thrive in good soil, but the colorings are more vivid in poorer 



ground. Brilliant leaves of red, yellow, and green

 plant make it a favorite with the home gardener. The moss-like 

 foliage remains clear, bright green until frost, when it turns to a 

 beautiful bronze red. The plants grow easily in moderately rich soil.

 first season. When once established it may grow from 40 to 50 feet 

 in a season. The large, bright green leaves afford excellent shade

Lady's Slipper (See Balsam) 



LANTANA [tP-2ft.] A Brazilian shrub that makes a splendid display 

 the first season from seed. Above the large somber green leaves 

 verbena-like clusters of fragrant flowers rise in prolonged succes- 

 sion. In a single cluster all the shades of crimson, rose, yellow, and 

 orange appear.

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

 downy leaves of these annual Mallows produce a decorative effect 

 in hedges or borders. The large cup-shaped blooms, two to three 

 inches across, bloom profusely during the entire summer and make 

 long-keeping cut flowers. The plants are rather spreading, but this 

 is an .advantage as they may be sown late to fill a vacant spot fol- 

 lowing spring flowers.

LAVENDER (Lavandula Vera) [hP-2 ft.] This is the lavender our 

 grandmothers grew and dried. It is a pleasing addition to the 

 home garden, too, because of the feathery gray foliage, the little 

 lavender flowers, and the dainty fragrance. A native of dry, sandy 

 wastes, this plant may easily be cultivated in any garden soil.

 satisfying, for they range from pure white through soft shades of 

 lavender and pink to deep blue. They bloom from early summer 

 until fall.
