It is so fast growing that it will in a year or two reach the top of your window, sending up heavy stiff canes an inch in diameter, and rising be- side them will grow strong, slen- der branches, gracefully drooping under heavy waxen leaves and pendant panicles of coral-colored flowers as large as a hand.

Gloire de Lucerne. A beautiful variety that is evi- dently a cross between Sanguinea and Rubra, both of which it
