 paler thnn the centre; the wings are deeper pink,ofa very 

 rich shade, giving it a very striking appearance. Tlie trusses, 

 as well as the individual flowers, are larger than the older 

 varieties, and the cliaracter may be considered to be quite 

 fixed. This novelty is an important addition to the few 

 kinds of hardy perennial climbers, easily raised from seed, 

 and is an invaluable plant for florists. Price, pkt., 5c.; per
