one of the most beautiful sorts, and is therefore desir- 
able for all collections. It is a very hardy kind, and 
free grower, and requires only protection from frost; 
any light rich soil will suit it; and nothing is wanting 
to make it thrive but plenty of light and air in mild 
weather, and but little water in winter. Cuttings 
strike root readily, planted in a loamy soil and placed in 
a sheltered situation.
