Text Appearing Before Image:
another celebratedgarden-writer of the past age, says, The only method by whichI have been able to keep these plants has been by potting themand placing the pots under a common frame in winter, wherethey enjoyed the free air in mild weather, but were protectedfrom frost; they have been kept in this way for three years, butnever ripened seed in our climate.. Although, as we have said, there are a great many points of in-terest in the Virginian Hoary Pea, yet the plant is by no means ofthe highest type of beauty. The thick peduncle, suddenly termi-nating in the short, thick-set cluster, has a rather hunchbacked look, and the gray green is odd, but that is all. The eleganceof its leaf-outlines is its redeeming feature. Still it is a plantmuch more worthy of culture than many which have a place ingardens, and our own florists might perhaps be more successfulwith it than those of England.
