VARIEGATED CLIMBING 
NASTURTIUM. 
» The adjoining illustration shows this 
new and beautiful plant, the small 
sketch on the left being accurately en- 
graved from a photograph and shows. 
its climbing habit. When we- 
saw this in Paris two years ago- 
we were struck with its beauty 
of flower and foliage, its great. 
value as a climbing plant and 
its usefulness as a drooping 
plant for baskets or vases. 
After repeated efforts we suc- 
ceeded in importing it safely 
and now have a grand stock to 
offer. There is no plant with 
which we are acquainted, so- 
prettily and distinctly marked 
as this, or one which holds its. 
variegation so well under all 
conditions. The foliage is. 
green, irregularly marked with 
soft creamy white, the flowers. 
are a bright orange scarlet, and the contrast between them is very striking. 
It is rarely that such a grand novelty is offered for sale, and a fine stock 
enables us to offer it at a popular price. 25c. each, $2.25 per doz.

CHINESE MATRIMONY VINE 
LYCIUM CHINENSBE) e 
Lycium 
Is a most vigorous hardy climbing plant 
when trained to an arbor, fastened to afence, 
attached to a tree, to the side of a house, the 
pillars of a piazza or in any location where a 
hardy vigorous climber is desired. It sends 
out numerous side branches, so that it covers 
a great amount of space in a short time, and & 
every new growth is at once covered with 
bright purple flowers, which are succeeded 
by brilliant scarlet berries nearly an inch 
long, every branch being loaded with them; 7s 
the contrast between the glossy, dark green ; 
foliage and shining scarlet fruit is extremely $ 
beautiful. It continues flowering and new ¢& 
berries are forming from late spring until 
frost. The berries ripen in early autumn 
and remain on the vine late into the winter. 4 
The number of our hardy vines which can be 
grown without danger from frost in our 
Northern States is limited, and none are 
more beautiful than this or as easy of culture. 
It will grow and thrive in any situation, 
either shade or bright sunlight, and will take 
root in any soil; in fact, nature has given it 
all the essentials for wide popularity. Valu- 
able as it is for covering fences, ete., itis even 
more desirable for eclambering over stone \¥ 
walls, bare rocks or unsightly banks, cover- ; 
ing them quickly with bright green foliage, @Ray' GA 
and later on rendering them objects of beauty ; = at 
with its wealth of scarlet berries and purple j@ySe), |=
