Pyrethrum Partheniu77i^ and PJialaris ariindinacea var. picta. Of 

 herbaceous climbers, TropcEolum majus is the most common, and 

 Calystegia sepiiun is not unfrequent round the door porches. Garden 

 roses are represented by gallica, spinosisshna^ rubiginosa, and various 

 forms of t?id!ca. I saw a fine Gloire de Dijon against the front of a 

 house at Alston with a southern exposure.
