 a rich soil. The plants are very handsome, about 1 foot high 

 with glossy dark green foliage and charming star-shaped 

 flowers which will last in water for a week if cut when the 

 buds are beginning to open. Start the seed indoors in Janu- 

 ary or February and set the plants outdoors in April, about 

 1 foot apart each way; they will bloom from the time the 

 plants are set out until fall. Or the seed may be sown di- 

 rectly in the open soil in late April. The Vincas make fine 

 window-box plants. Give them a medium light soil if possi- 

 ble and an occasional heavy watering.
