MOUNTAIN BEAUTY VINE. 



New Crimson 

 Mountain Beauty Vine 



(AXTIGONON LEPTOPUS) 



This is a new climbin<i^ vine of striking and 

 remarkable beauty, and though not quite hardy 

 here, is especially reeoiiimended 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 California friends will give it a liberal trial. 

 Good strong Roots, 15 cts. each, 2 for 25 cts., 

 $l.bO per doz., postpaid.
