Climbing Annuals require to be supported with 
sticks or trellis, and should occasionally be twined or 
tied up with a string. They may also be planted at 
the foot of Peach, Cherry, or other trees that are not 
too shady, and twined round their stems. 
The Climbing Annuals are generally free growing 
plants, and abundant flowerers. They are not so 
much appreciated as they should be, for they are fine 
plants for setting around arbors, or twining over fen¬ 
ces, for which purpose strings may be fastened on the 
top of the fence or building, and secured to the ground 
with pegs. On these strings they will twine very 
gracefully, and by the abundance of their flowers, am¬ 
ply repay the attention given them. 
The Cypress Vine and Thunbergia seeds are rather 
tender, and often decay in the ground when sown too 
early. They will vegetate freely if sown as late as 
the last week of May or first of June. The seed should 
be soaked in water the evening previous to sowing it, 
and if set in an open situation, it will be up in a few 
days, and grow rapidly.
