The Climbers are among the handsomest and most beautiful varieties of flowers. Most of them are easy of cul- 
tivation, strong and vigorous growers, and make a beautiful and shady covering for our trellises, arbors, etc. : with 
their bright-green foliage and brilliant flowers, they brighten our homes and cover them with Nature’s drapery. 
They should be trained and furnished proper support as soon as they commence to run, or they will not show their 
graceful trailing habits. They are entirely under the control of the gardener if taken in time. Those of delicate 
habits are very desirable for hanging baskets, vases, etc. 
CONVOLVULUS MAJOR. 
Convolvulus Major, commonly known as Morning 
Glory, is the best known and most popular annual 
climber we have. The seed are of strong vitality and the 
growth so luxuriant that they cover an arbor or trellis 
ten feet high in a few weeks ; a support should be sup- 
plied as soon as the plants commence to run.

COB^A. 
This genus is one of our most lovely and striking 
climbers, owing to its large size, fine foliage, rapid growth 
and large bell-shaped flowers, sometimes an inch and a 
half in width and two inches long. In a single season 
planfs will grow thirty or more feet, branching freely and 
covering a large surface. Plants flower when young, con- 
tinuing in bloom until killed by frost. The seed should 
be sown in moist earth, edge down and do not 
water until the plants are up.
