Christmastide. Yet it is the least fastidious of flowers. 

 Planted against a pillar, or grown upon a wire balloon, 

 it produces a great corymb of rosy flowers at the end of 

 every shoot, opening in succession for fully two months. 

 It is well named gratissima most sweet and it can be 

 multiplied from cuttings as easily as a geranium.
