 growth during summer is a dark purplish green, changing in 

 fall to the brightest tints of scarlet, crimson and orange. It 

 clings to stone-work, trees, etc.. and is a splendid plant for

This handsome plant is quite easily grown, thriving in almost 

 any night temperature that is higher than 40 degrees. It pro- 

 duces very freely large cone shape racemes of beautiful rose- 

 colored bracts. Being of climbing habit, it probably has no- 

 equal for training to the rafters of conservatories or green- 

 houses. The Bougainvillea has proved with some to be a very- 

 profitable plant to force for the bloom during the winter. 

 Strong plants, $1.00 each.
