ones small, oblongly lanceolate, spreading, and fringed : 

 the three inner ones ovate, concave, membranaceous, 

 acute, strongly 3-nerved, the nerves very prominent, 

 and clothed with bunches of hairs, that are seated on 

 little tubercles. Flowers white, very double, a great 

 number of the stamens being turned into petals. 



Our drawing of this pretty double variety, was taken 

 from a plant at the Nursery of Mr. J. Lee, at Ham- 

 mersmith ; it is quite as hardy as the single variety, and 

 is well adapted for growing in rock-work, or in small 

 pots, mixed with the other species ; by cutting off the 

 flower-stems as soon as the flowers are dropped, will in- 

 crease the strength of the young shoots, and occasion 

 them to push out other racemes of flowers in succes- 

 sion ; so as to continue in bloom the greater part of the 

 Summer: young cuttings, planted under hand-glasses 

 in Spring or Autumn, will strike root readily.
