CONVOLVULUS MAJOR, OR THE AMERICAN MORNING Glory. 
Whether covering a trellis , a verandah , or rambling amongst the branches of shrubs, or festooning the 
hedgerows, alone , or with other climbers, such as Tr op tedium 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 of twiggy faggots, covered with Convolvulus, Sweet Peas , and Canary Creeper inter- 
mingled , give a fine tffect .

LARKSPURS. 
These are universal 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 following summer in spite 
of the severest drought , and cut flowers may be gathered freely from them the whole of the season.

PETUNIAS. 
The Petunia in the fower 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, 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 rock work, or elevated situations, where plants are required 
to droop over , as in the fissures of rock formations, this plant is invaluable.
