or shade and any soil or situation seems suitable for it. In the 
garden it quickly covers old tree trunks and fences or walls 
with a brilliant bloak of green. For indoor culture it is espe¬ 
cially attractive, and may be grown in a number of inter¬ 
esting ways; in a table bowl, in a wall basket or bowl, and 
in a window box or bowl! We will ship in an attractive pack¬

the finest cut flowers for light, loose arrangement that we know 
of. Handsome blooms of extra large size and a wonderful color 
range, such as pinks, reds, bronze, and yellows in mixtures. 
These are borne on long wiry stems and if allowed to establish 
themselves over a period of years will double the amount of 
flowers every year. Strong 2-year-old plants are available in 
a mixture and in a beautiful red. Mix, $1.50 a dozen postpaid.
