 bright azure Erinus-like blossoms, each with 

 a picturesque yellow blotch margined with

CLIANTHTJS DAMPIERI. 



Messrs. Henderson have much pleasure 

 in offering home ripened seed from their own 

 magnificent plant, which commenced expand- 

 ing its bloom when about 18 inches in height, 

 and continued until November, when it had 

 attained to upwards of 15 feet in length, 

 being trained horizontally against upright 

 supports. It was ascertained that this single 

 plant produced 680 trusses of bloom in one 

 summer, which, averaging six flowers to each 

 truss, formed an aggregate of 4000 blossoms 

 as the product of a single seed!
