We have before us a most beautiful little 
plant, a native of North America, trailing 
on the ground in shady woods. In this 
country it is somewhat difficult to cultivate 
or increase; the best way is to keep it in a 
moderate sized pot placed in the shade in 
summer, and in winter preserved in a frame 
under glass. The flowers come out pretty 
early in spring, generally in April: they are 
extremely delicate and fragrant. We have Am 
seeds, å 
sometimes had are succeeded By ripe 
soil is peat earth. 2 
amply repay all the pains that may be bia 
in cultivating it; when in flower, it possesses 
peculiar attractions.
