Polemoniacccc.Cobcea scandens, the most useful of climbers, on account of its rapid growth, fine foliage,and large blue flowers, and best adapted for house use. Plants should be grown in ahot-bed or frame. Seed requires some care in starting. If put in the open ground, itwill generally rot, and the few that grow will be so late that but little growth and butfew flowers will be produced before frost. We have, however, seen some remarkableexceptions to this rule, even here; and in the South and Southwest it does well in theopen ground. When strong plants are set out early in the spring, in a rich soil, theyoften grow twenty or thirty feet, with several main branches. In the autumn theplants can be taken up and potted for the house 10 Text Appearing After Image:
