30D 
Quadrangularis Variegata similar to the above in every 
respect but has beautifully marked foliage, the large 
green leaves being blotched freely with cream and white 
spots in irregular and handsome profusion. 
CONSTANCE ELLIOTT. 
This variety created a furor a couple of years ago as 
the new white Passion Flower. The flowers are pure 
white except a very slight coloring at the base of the 
corolla. To the list of climbing vines it is a decided 
acquisition. It is a most vigorous grower, but a very 
shy bloomer; it also produces some fruit. There are 
several other varieties not here enumerated. We have 
known a variety in an old country garden named Gos- 
syppifolia, with small white blooms not any larger than 
a fifty cent piece, the flowers of which were only ex- 
panded in the early morning. We have since lost all 
trace of this rather odd variety. With the exception of 
Princeps, all root freely from cuttings or layers, as recom- 
mended for Clematis. 
All-beauteous flower! whose centre glows 
With studs of gold; thence streaming flows 
Ray-like effulgence; next is seen 
A rich expanse of varying hue, 
Enfringed with an empurpled blue, 
And streaked with young Pomona’s green. 
High o’er the pointal, decked with gold, 
(Emblem mysterious to behold !) 
A radiant cross its form expands; 
Its opening arms appear to embrace 
The whole collective human race, 
Refuse of all men, in all lands.
