THE VARIEGATED LEAF MOONFLOWER. 
This is one of the greatest acquisitions to our list of summer climbing plants introduced in years. The foliage is beautifully 
marked clear white and vivid green, the flowers are identical with the famous Moonflower, so that in beauty of flower and foliage it 
is without a rival. As itis not hardy, slips (or cuttings) should be taken from it in the fall and started in small pots, when they will 
make fine vines for climbing around the window in a sitting-room; trained to wires, strings or wooden trellis in the open ground it will 
make a most attractive appearance even when out of bloom. Price, 20c. each, 6 for $1.00.

SCHUBERTIA 
GRANDIFLORA. 
A very rare climbing plant of 
great beauty. It can be grown in 
the open ground in our Northern 
States in summer, but it is not 
hardy enough to stay out all win- 
ter. The flowers are pure white, 
large and fleshy, and are very 
fragrant. They are borne in great 
clusters in the greatest profusion. 
A plant in bloom will scent the air 
around it for a great distance, 
and is a conspicuous object on 
account of its great white blos- 
soms. They are very like Steph- 
anotis in appearance. The 
leaves and stems are covered 
with asoft down, which adds to 
its appearance. A plant growing 
against a fence on our grounds 
was the admiration of thousands.
