TEOPjE'OLUM, Nat. Ord. Tropceola' cem. Half-hardy annual and perennial climbers. 
The varieties of T. I.obbianum arc exceedingly elegant, and remarkable for their richly diversified colours and 
profusion of bloom, being equally adapted for in or out-door decoration. In the Jloiver garden. 7vhen pegged down, 
they are very effective bedding plants and veiy graceful growing over rustic baskets, rock formations, etc., or 
trained over trellises, chains, pillars, avails, etc. The neiv varieties, Cardinal and Crown Prince of Prussia, 
have finely formed floioers, ami ate specially recommended for indoor culture, as during pointer and spring they 
keep the conservatory gay. supplying a large quantity of cut flowers. The seed from the self colours usually comes 
true, but parti-coloured varieties sport very much. T. Canariense, the Canary Creeper, with its beautifully 
fringed rich yellow flowers and pretty foliage, is universally knoivn and admired as a fine climber. T. jarattii 
is a beautiful greenhouse plant. T. penfaphylltwi is in the style of Jarattii, but hardy, succeeding out of doors in 
warm situations and in light soils. Speciosum is a charming hardy species. 
The Dwarf compast-growlug bedding Tropseolums are described under the heading Nasturtium, p. 31.
