wMeii G to 10 had been in full bloom at a 

 time. This plant is a very rapid growing 

 climber; mthiu three months the vine attains 

 a height of 18 to 20 feet. It does well on 

 sunny situations, and cannot be surpassed for 

 coveiing arbors, trellises, etc., on account of 

 its rapid growth and great dimensions. I 

 have flowered this beautiful climber theUast 

 three seasons, and can substantiate all what is 

 claimed for it. It should be so\A'n early, in 

 order to get it to perfection. 

 Price, per packet, 25c.

 diversity of colors and profuse flowering 

 qualities, that they require- no recommen-

 They should be tied up to sta]?:es, v/hich ought 



to be driven into the ground before or when 

 planting them. To have them flower late in 

 the season they should be planted late in the 

 spring, and the flower buds nipped off when
