 summer blooming habit. But it is not common, bv any 

 means, and this fact is attributable almost 

 entirely to the impression that prevails to a 

 great extent that it is a very difiScull plant 

 to grow — quite beyond the ability of the 

 amateur, in fact. Such is not the case; 

 however, if one goes at it in the right wa)'.
