JASMINUM GRACILLINUM. 
‘Jasminum Gracillinum is one of the most distinct in its graceful habit, and in the abun- 
dance of its large sweet-scented flowers, which are also more copiously produced. It appears 
to be a small species, with long, very slender branches springing from low down on the stem, 
and curving over on all sides, weighed down by terminal globose panicles.”’ 
As a decorative plant, Jasminum Gracillinum is probably the best of recent introduction. 
It is exceedingly floriferous; « flowering shoot is produced from every joint, which termi- 
nates in a dense cluster of pure white fragrant flowers. The plant is continuously in bloom 
from October to January, and its graceful habit renders it one of the most beautiful of flower- 
ing plants. 50 cents.
