not grow tall and scruggy like the old 
variety, but is strong and Compact, 
with p great abundance of lustrous 
dark green foliage. It is a true ever- 
bloomer. its Howers appearing in great 
abundance both Summer and Winter 
when grown in pots, or it will bloom 
profusely all Summer long in the open 
ground, and being potted in September 
will continue blooming without inter- 
mission all Winter. The same. plant 
will grow and bloom for yours without 
once ceasing, and the quantity ot 
bloom whichagoodplantwill produce 
is astonishing. It is estimated that 
six plants of the old sort will not pro- 
duce so many flowers in the course ol 
a year as will one plant of this new 
dwarf variety. A large plant is hardly 
ever without one or more flowers, and 
its dwarf, Jompact habit makes it a 
much more desirable pot plant than
