as the breath of spring, is surmounted in early summer with 
heads of pink tubular flowers, sometimes as many as 100 of 
them in a single cluster. The big 3-inch coppery leaves, 
heavily veined, green as they age but retain some of their 
rich coloring on the under side. We have grown the plant 
in both sun and part shade and it seems to enjoy either. Half

our patio garden and find it a joy from one year’s end to 
the other. Waxy deep green leaves, 1 to 1% inches in length, 
are strung thickly on sturdy stems. In filtered sunlight or 
heavy shade it will, with a little pruning, form a dense glossy 
mound to 2 or 2% ft. A marvelous background for begonias, 
primroses or small ferns. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $2.50; 
gal. containers, 75c.

be grown as either shrub or vine. Used as a shrub it will form

the support of fence or trellis it will develop into a handsome 
evergreen vine. Hardy. Sun. 5-gal. containers, $2.50; gal. 
containers, 75c.
