The plants, whichj are very compact, have dark green fo liage, never grow over five inches highl nor more than fifteen! in diameter. The flow er stems are about I four inches long and I hear near the end of, the stem two or three! blossoms, which arc open at about tlx same time, and arc of a pure, waxy Avhite, of good substance and as large as the Emily Henderson, with ail the fragrance of the Eckford varieties. Is is a wonderfully free bloomer and continues in bloom from May until killed by hard frosts, a much longer period than that of the climbing varieties. It makes a fine bedding plant, while for pot culture for the decoration of the house or conserva- tory in summer or winter it is wonderfully attractive. Six or seven-inch pots are the proper sizes for flowering in pots. Its manner of growth is peculiar; a slender, erect stem grows up to a height of three or four inches, then after a time four or more creeping side-growths push out. These are much stronger and form the plant, which covers the entire surface of a six-inch pot, and when in flower the growths hang over the sides. But it will probably be used chiefly as a bedding and border plant. When used for bedding the plants should stand about eight inches apart. This was a novelty of last year, and some who tried it reported failure to get the seed to sprout, the brief instructions given on the introducers' packets not being sufficient to insure success; and I had the same trouble with it until repeated experiments showed just how to treat it.
