TROPAEOLUM, FLORE PLENO DARMSTADT.
The beautiful double-flowered Nasturtium represented in the accompanying illustration was raised by Herr Henkel, of Darmstadt, and distributed by him last year. The flower is quite double and of an intense yellow colour, with scarlet feathering at the base of the petals. A more brilliantly coloured flower does not exist, even among such a family as the Tropaeolums, It has also
the great merit of being exceedingly freeblooming. even in recently rooted cuttings, ami the flowers remain a long time in beauty. For covering a trellis during the summer season out of doors there is nothing more brilliantly beautiful. It can be easily and quickly increased by Hittings, which make roots very rapidly, and when better known it will be seen in every good collection of ornamental flowering plants,
