LYGODIUM SCANDENS (Japanese 

 Climbing 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 decorating. 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.
