Whether covering a trellis, a verandah, or rambling amongst the branches of shrubs, or festooning the 
hedgerows, alone, or with other climbers, such as Tropceolum Canariense ( Canary Creeper ), Clematis, etc., the 
beauty of Convolvulus Major is conspicuous, and the effect of its fresh rich pleasing colours is most charming. In 
floral walks, pyramids off twiggy faggots, covered with Convolvulus, Sweet Peas , and Canary Creeper inter- 
mingled , are grand objects.

PETUNIAS. 
The Petunia in the flower garden is an effective plant, blooming profusely till late in autumn. When 
planted in large beds it should be trained over a frame-work of boughs ; and in the flower borders, supported by 
twiggy faggots. The Petunia is very telling in effect when trained against rustic fences, espaliers , or walls. 
It is also invaluable in rustic baskets, on rockwork, or drooping from fissures of rock formations and on old walls.
