It usually begins to bloom early in Aiigast, and pro- 
duces its great panicles of blooin in the greatest pro- 
iusion for a number of weeks. The blossoms are very 
sweet scented, and a small bunch of the cut flowers 
will perfume a whole room, filing the air with their de- 
licious fragrance. The vine is of the most hardy, 
healthy h.abit, and frequently grows to a height of 
.30 or 40 feet in a single season. Another valuable 
point in this climber is the fact th.-it it comes into 
flower late in the season, when nearly all other vines 
have ceased blooming. Strong, thrifty plants aoc
