This is also known as Angels Trumpeter Wedding Bell and is catalogued as brugmansla, but tlie above is its correct name. It is a plant which it is impossible to adequately describe, as no pen can possibly convey a correct idea of its grandeur, beauty and ragrance. It grows in a fine, miniature tree form, and completely loads itself with pure white, droop- ing, bell-shaped flowers a foot long, six or eight inches wide, of the most overpowering sweetness, and the same flowers opening for several days in succession. "VS'e have counted over200 flowers open at one time on a plant, and they almost completely obscured the leaves and weighed the branches to the ground. The cut conveys but a poor idea of the appear- ance of the plant, and no idea of its wonderful blooming qualities. Should have a rich soil and be pruned into good shape. May be kept as a put shrub the year round, or be bedded out in the spring and wintered in a pit or cellar, or kept up for winter blooming. In Florida it may be set in the 'open ground permanently, and will attain a great size, sprouting up vigorously when the top is cut ofE by untimely frosts. Fine, thrifty plants, 15c.
