an. b. in this department of the
Agriculturist, of September 20, writes
in praise of the Wistaria where a de-
ciduous climber is wanted for the pi;z-
"a. There are at least three other de-
ciduous vines which may be highly
recommended for the same purpose,
and two of them are natives, bringing
them easily within the reach of any
one.
The first is the Virginia Creeper or
American Ivy (Ampelopsis quinquefo-
lia), found growing wild from Canada
to our South Florida hammocks. It
transplants easily, takes readily to the
high pine land, and very few vines
make most beautiful veranda drap-
cry. In fact every good point that M
B. claims (and truthfully) for the Wis
taria, is possessed by the Virginia
Creeper while it has the additional
merit of being a much more graceful
vine than the Wistaria.
The second vine I have in mind is
the native grape which may be found
in almost any old field and transplant
ed any time during the fall or winter
months before it starts growth. The
possibilities of this grape where sum-

What is Your Experienced


There are several plants which we
have tested two or more times, and al
ways with the same result, viz: Total
failure.
Many years ago we planted out Hy-
acinthus candicans, the Summer
Blooming Hyacinth." 1t came up
readily and for sometime seemed
thrifty. 1t was not many weeks how
ever before it began to droop and
then it gradually grew smaller and
smaller until it finally died outright.
Last spring we received another
bulb, in with a collection of bulbs.
Remembering our former experience
we determined to take every possible
precaution against failure. We made
the soil very rich with we'll decayed
stable manure, and set the bulb well
into the soil where it would not get
too hot, kept it we'll watered in dry
weather-it was on dry soil-and for
some weeks it seemed to be doing very

former experience has been repeated
exactly. The top died down without
any attempt at blooming; the bulb is
still sound, but is no larger, if as
large, as when planted last spring.
Our experience with Nasturtiums has
been almost exactly the same. We
tried them years ago, but got no bios
SONS at ALL This summer by very
careful nursing we have succeeded in
getting few poor, weak little flowers.
The plants are still alive, but not
thrifty.
COnvolvulus minor, the dwarf
Morning Glory" is very snowy and
desirable bedding plant at the North,
covering the ground with it's trailing
branches, and it's branches with bril-
liant flowers in variety of colors.
Here it has proven total failure.
We have never been able to get a
plant large enough to show any signs
of towering This is all the more
other members of the Convo1vulus
family which includes all the IpOmOeaS,
are very much at home in Florida SOIL
and climate and often develop into an
nOying weeds.
We hope any of our readers who
have had experience with any of these
plants will give their neighbors the
benefit of their experience through the

Agriculturist. Reader, this means you.

seed to bloom the same year. A very
interesting account of them and their
culture is found in La Semaine HOrti-
cole. the substance of which is here
given. This remarkable rose has been
produced by the crossing of pOlyan-
tina rose with a hybrid remOntant or
hybrid perpetual. By means of re-
peated selections there has been OBJ
tanned an extremely rapid develop
ment of the plant from the seed to the
blooming state so much so that flowers
are produced the same year Of seed
sowing, on little plants only six months
of age. At first such great vitality
seemed doubtful, but to-day it should
be well understood that this new race
forms seeds abundantly, and gives the
same year from the seed-bed plants,
flowers and fruits. The first flowers,
though they are pretty, do not produce
as much effect as when they bloom in
clusters, which occurs in proportion as
the plant develops and from the second
year. The flowers are single, semi
double, and even double, like little
double buttercups; they present the
various shades of color of other roses.
Seed sowing is made from January
to March in a cool house temperature;
in April the little plants are placed in
temporary quarters, either in pots, in
a frame, or in a sheltered bed where
they can be easily cared for, and are
permanently planted out in autumn.
The plants commence to bloom when
very young, even in three months af-
ter removal from the seed-bed and con-
tinue up to frosts. Although the plant
blooms the first year, it is not truly Or
namental until the second year and
after.
The seed of this race of roses is Of
fered in this country by some seeds
men, and it may be as well to say, as
caution, that it is probable. that the
seeds should be quite fresh to germi-
nate we'll, or if kept over for some
time they should be mixed with moist
soil or sand and be stored in cool
place. Beside these there should be
at hand the proper equipment and ap-
pliances, such as a good greenhouse
and cold frames to enable one to care
for the plants as they should be. The
housekeeper with only a window to
raise plants in would not be apt to sue
coed very we'll with them"

March we passed very humble home
where three or four oaks grew near
together in the yard. These trees were
completely covered with a network of
wild grape vines, then bare of leaves,
but my friend assured me that in sum-
mer they presented a glorious picture,
forming a great green tent under
which it must be delightful to sit or
lie in hammock. l could not help
but think what a charming open-air
dining-rOOm it would make.
The third is the Kudzu vine,. known
botanically both as DOlichos JapOnicus
and Pucraria Thunbergiana. 1t is a
native of Japan, and is said to be the
most rapid growing vine known, some
times as much as thirteen inches in
one day. 1t was first brought to
Philadelphia at the time of the Centen-
NAL, by the Japanese, who planted it
in their department of the exposition,
to produce the quickest possible eff
feet. 1t has a tuberous root, which is
perfectly hardy at point considerably
farther north than Philadelphia, but
in cold climates the vines die down to
the ground every winter. But in the
spring the roots send up vigorous
shoots which will quickly shade an en-
tire piazza front, and Chamber up to
the top of the house if allowed to do
so. In Florida the shoots do not die
back in winter, but instead simply
shed off their leaves and remain dor
mant until about March; the shoots
become woody vines with age and there
is almost no limit to the amount of
space they may be trained to cover in
time. The foliage is very luXuriant,
looks much like immense bean leaves,
and it produces clusters of rOse-colOred
or purple, fragrant flowers. For cover
ing pOrches, arbOrs, stumps, fences,
dead trees, ETC., with a luXuriant cur,
tain of foliage and in the shortest pos
sible space of time there is, perhaps,
no climber that can equal it.
In Japan the KudZu vine is valued
as an economic plant of the greatest
Importance. The leaves are used us
fodder for the cattle. an excellent
starch is made from the tuberous roots,
and the stems are prepared in various
manners and kind of cloth is male
from them. In the village of Taxa
Mura alone it is said, over $4,000
worth of this cloth is made annually.
NJ. B. wishes to know if any one in
Florida has ever been successful with
Fuchias. l know one lady who has
grown as fine specimens as [ ever saw
anywhere. She grew them in boxes
on the veranda, and said she had no
trouble growing them only that they
were liable to bloom themselves to
|death. Anyway, she had lost seeming
ly healthy plants after a season of pro-
fuse blooming.

TThis is as we supposed, there seem
ed to be no reason why they should
not thrive in the shade. The prOfuse
blooming might easily be controlled by
little judicious pinching off the ends
of the Towering shoots.-Ed.]
