This is also a hybrid production, and was raised from
seed, at the Nursery of Mr. Dennis, where our drawing
was made last Summer. It appears to be intermediate
between one of the glossy leaved sorts, and one of those
with the deep lobes, but we cannot with certainty refer
to its original parents; being of strong growth, a free
grower, and an abundant bloomer, makes it a very desirable
plant; any rich light soil will suit it very well;
and young cuttings, planted in pots, and placed in a
shady situation, strike root freely.
