PANICITLATA.— Introduced two or three years ago and has proven to be one of the most valuable varieties 
for general cultivation, as it grows very quickly and will often attain a height of 10 or 12 feet in a smsle s'-ason

dom troubled with insects of any kind. When in bloom the foliage is completely hidden beneath large clusters oi 
pure white sweet scented blossoms. It is a magnificent plant for verandas or any other position where a climoer is
