*DIPLADENIA BREAPvLEYANA. 



" This splendid variety of Dipladenia is one of the best exhibition plants 

 extant. It is of free growth, and of the most floriferous character, in this 

 respect greatly exceeding any other Dipladenia. It is an evergreen stove 

 climber of the very first rank, and is furnished with opposite oblong acute dark 

 green leaves, which serve as a fine contrast for the superbly colored flowers, 

 which are of the largest size opening pink and changing to the richest crimson 

 color. They have this remarkable peculiarity, that the color increases in 

 intensity with the age of the flowers. Beautiful as were the Dipladenias of 

 some few years since, they have been quite eclipsed b}- the improved varieties 

 which have been obtained, and amongst these, D. Brearteyana is certainly the 

 most distinct and beautiful." $*^.00.

A splendid hybrid, an intermediate form between D. amahilis and D. splendens^ 

 Color soft pink or rosy-crimson; it is very profuse; flowers produced in large 

 clusters, the raceme continuing to grow and produce a succession of blooms — a 

 marked and desirable character in this variety. Its free habit of growth and 

 prolific blooming qualities will render it a most desirable plant. $1.00.

 grown largely for decorative purposes as well as being unique for the bouquet.
