ra.—This, the true Moon Flower, isthe most vigorous of 
all the summer climbers. Will grow thirty to forty feet 
in asingle season, and be covered with its large white

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 grow- 
ing vigorously and plant out in very rich soil when dan-
