AIMLUMIA. 



(Mountain Fringe, Allegheny Vine, or Climbing Fumitory.) 



1051 Cirrhosa. A graceful hardy biennial climber, but, as it resows itself year 

 after year, it might be considered perennial; the feathery foliage closely re- 

 sembles that of the Maiden-hair Fern, the flowers are tube-shaped, flesh- 

 colored, and completely cover the plant. For covering trellises, stumps of 

 trees, etc., it is very desirable. (See cut.) 10
