SWAINSONIA GALEGI- 
FOLIA ALBA. 
A most desirable everblooming 
plant, with pure white flowers pro- 
duced in sprays of from 12 to 2 
flowers each, the individual blooms 
resembling a sweet pea. As a dec- 
orative plant for the window or 
conservatory, we know of nothing 
that will give as much satisfaction 
as the Swainsonia. Its easy cul 
ture, growing in almost any light 
position, its freedom of bloom, 
rarely ever being out of bloom, 
and the gtace and beauty of the 
flower and entire plant will un- 
doubtedly make this one of the 
most popular plants in cultivation.

started in February or March, in the 
greenhouse or hotbed ; and for a

about the first of May.
