sidered a very good substitute for Cress. There are 
several varieties, differing as well in the color of the 
foliage as in the flowers. The leaves of some are very 
light transparent green, while in others they are very dark, 
almost purplish. The flowers arc of almost all shades 
of yellow, scarlet, striped and spotted. The climbing 
Tropseolum is an excellent plant for baskets, vases, etc., 
and can even be used for bedding by pegging down the 
branches occasionally. Our engravings show the flow¬ 
er of Tropaeolum majus nearly natural size, also that 
pretty little variety Tropaeolum peregrinum, commonly 
known as the Canary Flower. 
Thunbergia starts rather slowly at first. Seed requires 
hot-bed treatment, but plants are grown easily from cut¬ 
tings. Flowers white or orange ; fine for baskets. All 
the varieties, except unicolor, have a dark, purplish eye, 
almost black. For house culture, baskets and vases,' 
there are few plants superior to the Thunbergia. They 
may be used very effectively in beds, pegged down.

TROP^OLUM. 
The Tropaeolum majus, or Nasturtiums, are among 
our very cleanest and prettiest and best Climbers. They 
require but little care, for seed sown in the spring of the 
year in any fair garden soil will produce plants ten or 
twelve feet in height before autumn. They do not re¬ 
quire even a rich soil, for a rich soil is apt to be produc¬ 
tive of leaves rather than flowers. They bear hot and 
dry weather very well, and we believe are not troubled 
by any insect, for the stems and leaves contain a pun¬ 
gent juice they do not like. In some places young 
shoots arc used as a salad, and the seed pods are con-
