 Mountain Beauty Vine 



Antigonon Lcptopus, 



This is a new climbing vine of striking and 

 remarkable beauty, and though not quite hardy 

 here is especially recoiniiiended for the 

 South aiitl Pacific (^oast where it will no doubt 

 give immense satisfaction. It is a strong vigorous 

 climber suitable for covering walls, porches, veran- 

 das, fences, etc., has handsome foliage and is cov- 

 ered for months at a time with splendid clusters of 

 bright crimson flowers, like flaming red Wistaria. 

 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 Central America where it 

 abounds, it is said to color the mountains with a 

 blaze of glowing crimson. It is certainly unequal- 

 led in brilliant beauty among climbing vines, and 

 we hope our Southern and California friends will 

 give it a liberal trial. Good strong' plants, 20 

 cts. each; 3 for 50 cts. ; $1.75 per doz., 

 postpaid. 



This is the hardy evergreen vine with dark deep green 

 leaves so much used for covering the walls of houses, 

 churches, schools, mills, etc. It is also very popular for 

 covering graves, cemetery work, etc. It retains its foliage all 

 winter and is a true evergreen. Good strong plants, 

 20 cts. eacli; S3. 00 per doz., postpaid.
