HE delicious fragrance of this plant is of itself sufficient 
to secure it a place in the most select collection ; but it 
is also a most profuse bloomer, each shoot terminating

beauty and sweetness for several weeks. Like many other choice 
plants, however, it is somewhat delicate, and requires careful 
management. It is not very speedily propagated, but it is 
plentiful and cheap enough to render this of little consequence, 
and beginners will save time, and probably disappointment too, 
by leaving its propagation to those who devote exclusive attention
