THE NEW PARADISE FLOWER 



WENDLANDII.) 



SINCE introducing this splendid plant, we have watched its habit with great interest. 

 At first, we thought it best to treat it as a climbing vine, for porch or trellis, but 

 we have found that it blooms quicker and better when set in an ordinary bed and 

 given no support at all ; in this way it begins to bloom very quickly and will soon be 

 covered all over with immense clusters of large, sky-blue blossoms presenting a most 

 striking and beautiful effect and continuing to increase in beauty till killed down by 

 frost ; the flowers are over two inches across, and the clusters contain from 30 to 50 flowers and buds at 

 a time. 3 or 4 plants set in a 4-foot bed will be a mass of lovely bloom for months. Strong Plants, 

 15 cts. each ; 3 for 40 cts., |1.50 per doz., postpaid. lyarger size 25 cts., 3 for 65 cts., postpaid: |2.00 per 

 doz. ; by express.
