abundantly; fragrant like a Jassemine; the best bloomer of all.

planted on the north side of a wall or building.

vety brown flowers; will twine thirty or forty feet high.

pendulous clusters of pale blue flowers, when well established makes an enormous growth, 
is very hardy, and is one of the most superb vines ever introduced. 
Double Purple {Flore Pleno ). A rare and charming variety, with perfect double flowers, deeper 
in color than the single, and the racemes of remarkable length. The plant is perfectly 
hardy, resembling the Wistaria Sinensis, so well known as one of our best climbing plants.

acquisitions.
