Beautiful Climbers 
is a soft plant, easy to pull up in spring when 
the juicy mass can go with advantage into a 
garden trench as green manure. 
Ionopsidium acaule ( Violet Cress) ; h.a. — 
A tiny plant only an inch or two high ; white, 
faintly tinged lilac ; good for places in cool 
rock work near the eye, or the joints of pave- 
ments. 
Ipom^a purpurea (Morning Glory) ; h.a. — 
The best known of these beautiful climbers 
is commonly called Convolvulus major ; it is 
in colourings of purplish-blue, red, and white. 
I. rubro-ccerulea (Heavenly Blue), is a tender 
plant, really a perennial, but grown as a half- 
hardy annual and planted out against a warm 
wall, though not always with success ; but a 
good greenhouse plant where it can be trained 
up the rafters. The flowers are of a most pure 
and lovely blue. 
Jacob^ea elegans ; h.h.a. — This is properly 
a Senecio, but is more commonly catalogued 
as Jacobcea. The white double variety is the 
best ; the red ones being of a rank magenta 
colour. It is a neat plant about 15 inches 
high, the flowers showing up well upon the 
dark, rather succulent foliage. 
Kaulfussia amelloides ; h.a. — A pretty 
plant about 9 inches high ; the colour of the 
blue Daisy flowers being refined by the purplish 
disc.
