low flowers are seldom produced when grown in baskets.

with dark colored “eye.” 
Upright Plants for Shady Positions 
Tuberous Begonias of various colors and fibrous rooted Begonias, 
mainly varieties of B. semperflore?is.

has “velvety” tri-colored flowers of lavender, purple and 
yellow. 
Trailing Plants for Shady Positions 
English Ivy ( Hedera Helix). 
Trailing Myrtle ( Vinca). There are several species and varieties 
of Vinca suitable; most of them having blue flowers. 
“Wandering Jew,” Tradescantia, of which there are several 
species, either variegated or green. 
Space will not admit of giving details of the culture of these 
plants prior to their being placed in baskets. In most cases, un- 
less one has greenhouse facilities, it is better to obtain grown 
plants from a florist at planting time.
