MADEIRA VINE. 
OXALIS. 
The Madeira Vine is a beautiful 
climber, with thick, glossy, light green, 
almost transparent leaves, and climbing 
twenty ict_i or more, and twining in any desired form. 
Plant the tuber out of doors in the spring, and it will 
commence to grow at once. In the autumn cutoff the 
tops, dig up the tubers, and keep them in the cellar over 
winter. They are excellent for house climbers.

OXALIS LASIANDRA. 
This Oxalis is one of the prettiest plants we are 
acquainted with for borders of beds, edgings of walks, 
etc. It forms a rounded edging less than a foot in height, 
and about the same breadth. The leaves arc in nine 
divsions, as shown in the engraving, and the bright 
flowers stand well up above the foliage. They open in 
clear weather and close with the setting sun. The 
bulbs arc small, and should be planted an inch or two 
apart. In autumn take up and keep from frost.

OXALIS DEPPII. 
This is another excellent 
Oxalis for summer borders and 
edgings. It bears but few 
flowers, but the leaves are handsome enough to compen¬ 
sate for the lack of flowers. They are of a lively green 
with a black zone, and form an unbroken rounded bor¬ 
der. Plant bulbs in early spring, and before winter take 
up and store away from frost.
