New Crimson 
Mountain Beauty Vine 
(ANTIGONON LEPTOPUS) 
This is a new climbing vine of striking and 
remarkable beauty, and though not quite hardy 
here, is eSpecially recommended for the 
South and Pacific Coast, where it will no 
doubt give immense satisfaction. It is a strong, 
vigorous climber, suitable for covering walls, 
porches, verandas, fences, etc., has handsome 
foliage and is covered for months at a time with 
splendid clusters of bright crimson flowers, like 
flaming red Wistarias. Those who have seen it in 
bloom in the South say it is the most magnificent 
flowering vine they ever saw, and in parts of Cen- 
tral America where it abounds, it is said to color 
the mountains with a blaze of glowing crimson. 
It is certainly unequalled in brilliant beauty among 
climbing vines, and we hope our Southern and Cali- 
fornia friends will give it a liberal trial. Good, strong 
roots, 15 and 20 cts. each, $1.50 and $2.00 per doz.., 
postpaid ; 2 year size, 35c. each, 3 for $1.00, expr.
