 brilliant, rich scarlet, pea-shaped flowers, 3 inches in length, each flower 

 picturesquely marked with a large black blotch in the centre. Plant out

5584 Cliantbus Dampieri 15 



5585 Cliantbus Dampieri Gerniani- 

 CUS. The seed supplied of this mag- 

 nificent but little known plant has hereto- 

 fore been of Australian growth, and has 

 generally given unsatisfactory results un- 

 less grown under glass. By careful selec- 

 tion for many years in a colder climate, 

 the plant has been gradually hardened, 



and we now offer a strain of seed 



that, if sown in the open border 

 in May, will produce plants that 

 will flower freely all summer. . .25
