Three Splendid Passion Vines* 



Parsifal. — This new Passiflora was raised by Mr. Compton gardener to 

 Mr. Gillespie of Montecito. We have always thought the old scarlet passion 

 vine was one of the most brilliant and beautiful varieties in existence, but 

 this new seedling is even more attractive. The flowers are larger, and most 

 prettily formed and a little darker shade of intense scarlet with a rich 

 velvety effect, It blooms equally well and is as luxuriant in growth as its 

 parent. Every one who has room should have it. Small plants in April 50c. 



Passiflora Pfordtii Variega.ta.. — The foliage is large and handsomely 

 variegated with bright yellow spots. The flowers are a fine mauve and white 

 with a blue corona, very showy. 25c to 50c.

 from all others. It is hardy in Southern California, but is little known 

 except in conservatories. Its great beauty recommends it at sight. The 

 leaves are shining and leathery, the flowers are arranged on spikes or racemes 

 18 to 20 inches long, with eighteen to twenty exquisite waxen, coral red 

 flowers; the short fringe of the corona is violet blue. 50c to $1.50 each.
