.)PERUVIAN "SIS52" VINE,| 
(Boussingaultia cordata.) 
MAGNIFICENT climber from the mountains 
of Peru. Jt is far more beautiful than the 
old and well-known Madeira Vine (B. basel- 
loides). Thestems of this new variety are 
carmine red, against which the bright green fleshy 
heart-shaped leaves contrast most effectively. The 
small white flowers, which are borne in long clus- 
ters, although not showy, are deliciously scented 
and contain much honey. This vine will grow 15 
feet the first season from seed, and if sown early 
will bloom from June until killed by frost. Pkt, 25 
MINA SANGUINEA. 
One of the most beautiful annual climbers ever offered, and 
a great improvement over Mina lobata, being much more 
profuse and commencing to flower in early July; and from 
August until frost the vines are fairly loaded with flowers. 
The vines grow very luxuriantly and quickly to a height of 
from 20 to 30 feet; the divided green leaves are somewhat 
like oak leaves; the flowers are not large — about an inch 
across—but are borne in large clusters. Color, deep blood-red, with a yellowish throat. (See cut.) .......-..- Pkt. 10 
Mina lobata. Rapid and luxuriant annual summerclimber. Flowers 15 to 25 in number, borne on graceful
