tomers in 1892, giving it a small space on one of my colored plates, feeling certain 
that it would give the greatest satisfaction. And it has; for it fs one of the brightest 
and best blooming climbers we have. No other plant in cultivation displays such 
blendings of creamy-white and scarlet. Young plants are often entirely covered with 
bloom; when only one foot high, producing as many as 20 to 80 flowers. They of course,
