This is one of tlie prettiest Slirubs, and while hardy south of 

 the Potomac, requires protection in this latitude. All, however, 

 that is necessary is to winter the plants in a cellar or similar posi- 

 tion where they will be protected from very severe weather. Grown 

 in large pots or tubs, specimens 6 to 8 feet high can be pro- 

 duced with little difficulty, and which for two to three months in 

 the suiumer will be covered with flowers. 

 Indica. Delicate soft pink. 

 — Alba. A white-flowered form.
