August, when it had 590 clusters of flowers ;
continued in full flower after being removed
indoors ; bore over 400 clusters in October, and
in December over 300. At this time every
young branch was cut off to propagate, but on
January 14 it had 100 beautiful new clusters.
The plant has a most graceful drooping habit,
grows with wonderful rapidity and blooms

cluster of flowers at each leaf. Color deli-

pretty. We make the price low for strong
