P. Iwperatrice Eugenie. — A fine robust- growing cool 

 house variety, producing its large flowers in great abundance 

 all through the summer months ; the petals are rosy lilac, 

 corona violet and white. A garden hybrid. 



P. Innesi. — This is a superb garden hybrid ; it succeeds 

 admirably under greenhouse treatment, and well deserves the 

 attention of all plant-growers ; stems and branches quadran- 

 gular, smooth, green, tinted with red, and narrowly winged. 

 Leaves broadly ovate, and about six inches long. Flowers 

 large, white, banded with red and spotted and mottled with 

 violet ; it is of such profuse blooming habit that flowers are 

 produced when only about a foot high. The result of a cross 

 between P. alata and P. macrocarpa. It is an exceedingly 

 handsome addition to our conservatory climbers. 



P. Laiusonii. — A very fine garden hybrid ; the flowers are 

 produced in the greatest abundance during the summer 

 months ; these are large and reddish brown in colom-, 

 afibrding a pleasing contrast to the last-named variety. 



P. Lemichziana. — This is a garden variety produced from 

 the beautiful P. kermesina, but it succeeds well in the green- 

 house or conservatory ; it is a moderately robust-growing 

 plant, producing in abundance its bright crimson scarlet 

 flowers during the summer and autumn months. 



P. Munroi. — A superb garden hybrid ; it is an abundant 

 bloomer, flowers large, and beautiful light bluish violet in
