during dry weather Although drouth will stop the flowering It will wll cause the foliage to turn yellow The seeds may be sown out of doors about May Hay 1 and the vine will start to flower about the middle of July and continue till frost Sow when the ground Is dry and andin in incase case of excessive rainfall cover the ground over The t e seeds with a small piece of glass of wood The seeds will

lark green foliage Is most fascinating especially in the early morning before the flowers close up or orIn orin orin In the evening Just after atter sundown when the blooms expand once more The flowers are not expanded to the full sun The vine Is a good strong grower and will attain a height helg t of at fifteen feet or even eveD twenty feet under favorable con conditions ms which are about the same as the morning glories require But the cypress vine will wUl do well In a partial shade There is also a white flowered variety but It Is not so popular as the scarlet form fonn An effective use can be made of the two grown together on a apost apost apost post or pillar A very good vine of easy cultivation Is the popular hyacinth bean The flowers are a delicate shade of blue and are produced on a raceme The flowers tome well away from the foliage on a rigid stem six to eight inches long are a trifle sUn stiff In appearance The seeds can c n be sown so out Jut of doors but as is
