 and worthy of general culture. In the North it usually 

 kills to the ground each winter, but it throws up shoots 

 2-4 ft., and these bloom from summer until frost, usu- 

 ally ripening fruit at the same time. The fruit has 

 some value for eating, but it is probable that it will 

 never be greatly developed in this direction. The dou- 

 hle-Howered form is often grown uniler glass and in 

 pots.
