ANDSOME and delicate, the Maurandia is a delightful vine 

 for indoor culture, as its foliage is attractive and pretty, being 

 small and neat in shape, similar to the point of a spear, and 

 entirely unobtrusive. The flowers are about the size and 

 ^5^ shape of the foxglove, and, in color, purple, white, or rose- 

 colored. They are most excellent for inserting in the sides 

 'of hanging-baskets or window-boxes, and are used by florists for that 



f=*^^' purpose. They are perennial, but as they bloom the first season after 

 ^, _.^ ^ planting, are used for summer decoration out of doors, and of course 

 'v®^ perish on the approach of frost, except removed to the house. The 

 name has been given in honor of Prof. Maurandy.
