CONVOLVULUS MAJOR, OR THE AMERICAN Morning Glory. 
Whether covering a trellis, a verandah, or rambling amongst the branclus of shrubs, or festooning the 
hedgerows, alone, or with other climbers, suck as Tropeeolum Canariense {fanary 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 effect.

LARKSPURS. 
These arc 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 these 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 flower garden is an effective plant, blooming profusely till late in autumn. W^n 
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. It is invaluable 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.
