 gained in the past two years. The drooping branches are cov» 

 ered with delicate, sage-green foliage, and every twig is tipped 

 with a long raceme of exquisite, pea-shaped blossoms of a pure 

 canary color, almost hidirg the foliage, and suggestingthe name 

 "Fountain of Gold." A fine companion for "Swainsonia Alba.'*

 Palm. No window is complete without it. It is very easy to 

 manage. Be sure and try it for your window. It cannot be ex«
