This is one of the most graceful of flowering plants for baskets, vases 

 and pots ever grown. It also grows to perfection in open ground 

 during Summer. Here is the record of one plant : Planted in an ordi- 

 nary nail keg in May, it was in flower all the time until August, when 

 it had 590 clusters of flowers; continued in full flower after being le- 

 moved indoors; bore over 400 clusters in October, and in December 

 over 300. After this time every young branch was cut off to propa- 

 gate, but on January 14 it had 100 beautiful new clusters. The plant 

 has a most graceful drooping habit, grows with wonderful rapidity and 

 blooms persistently Winter and Summer, producing a cluster of flowers 

 at each leaf. Color delicate, clear lilac-pink. The fragrance is delicious.
