CONVOLVULUS MAJOR, OR THE AMERICAN Morning Glory. 
The Convolvulus Major is perhaps one of the most attractive objects where climbers are cultivated. Whether 
on the trellis, the verUndah, or rambling amongst the branches of shrubs, or festooning the hedgerows, alone, or 
with other climbers, such as Tropesoluni Canariense {Canary Creeper), Clematis, etc.. Us beauty is conspicuous, 
and the effect of its fresh rich pleasing colours is most charming. Pyramids of twiggy faggots in floral walks are 
charming when covered with these and Sweet Peas.

LARKSPURS. 
These are univtrsal favourites, and of considerable value in the flower garden. The dwarf varieties are very 
effective in beds and ribbons ; the taller growing kinds are exceedingly decorative in mixed flower and shrubbery 
borders, and to cut for bouquets and vases they are invaluable. On light soils, where plants get burnt up in summer, 
we recommend that seed be sown in autumn; so treated they will bloom throughout the whole summer in spite of 
the severest drought, and cut flowers may be gathered freely from them the whole of the season.

HOLLYHOCKS. 
The distinctive character and massive beauty of Hollyhocks render them unrivalled as a picturesque relief 
to the dark back-ground of evergreen shrubs. For distant effect in large groups they are matchless: they also form 
an effective outline in flower gardens and borders, and an admirable boundary line for extensive avenues in park 
scenery. The seed offered has been saved from exhibitiosi flowers, and cannot fail to produce first-class varieties.

PETUNIAS. 
The Petimia in the flower garden, is one of the most effective of plants, blooming prof usely till far on in the 
autumn. When planted in large beds it should be trained over a frame-work of boughs ; and in the flower borders, 
against twiggy faggots. But perhaps the plant is most telling in effect when trained against a rustic fence, on 
espaliers, or against a wall. In rustic baskets on the lawn, for rockwork, or elevated situations, where plants 
are required to droop over, as in the fissures of rock formations, this plant is invaluable.
