They will stand any changes 
of weather until frost kills the 
vine to the ground. Each year 
it springs up stronger than

strong vine, clothed with a 
luxuriant growth of pretty 
cordate leaves, and bearing 
great quantities of large, thick- 
textured waxy flowers of a rich 
creamy-white, with £ throat of 
violet purple. It will grow 
in any soil, no matter how
