Cobsea SCandenS. One of the mosl vigorous of all climbers, bearing large purple bell-shaped blossoms throughout the summer months.

F. falcata, F. minima, and F. repens are useful little climbers that attach themselves to a wall after the manner of Ivy. A damp shady wall, instead of being an eyesore, may by means of these Ficus be trans- formed into an unbroken mass of tiny deep green leaves. Hardsnbergia. A group consisting of two species—H. Comptoniana, with three or five leaflets, and II. mono- phylla, in which the leaves are not divided. Both have dense clusters of small purple Pea-shaped blossoms, produced in the spring.
