plenty of flower buds in the year 1817, but 
the autumn of that year being cold they all 
dropped off: last season being so warm, 
they blossomed in great perfection, making 
an extremely rich and beautiful appearance. 
vele describes it as flowering at 
from January to March. It is in- 
"uid by cuttings, and thrives in loamy 
soil: we received it from Paris in the year 
1814.
