LYGODITJM SCANDENS (Japanese Climbing 

 $%&,Lc Fern). 



A most graceful climbing plant, growing from one to fifty feet, 

 as desired. It is quite as easy of culture as the Smilax, and 

 will, no doubt, be largely used for similar purposes in deco- 

 rating. Although a climbing plant when supported by 

 strings or wire, it can be used with equal advantage as a 

 drooping plant for baskets or vases.

 ducing flower spikes from 8 to 14 inches in length, 

 deliciously fragrant. The seed we offer is of our 

 own saving. (See Cut) 50
