TRUE MAQNOLIA=SCENTED MOONFLOWER. 



The Magnolia-sceuted Moouflower is a very haudsome aud popu- 

 lar suijimer c-limbing vine. It grows from teu to fifteen feet high, 

 has broad, tliick, heart-shaped leaves and elegant, large, trumpet- 

 shaped, snow-white flowers, delightfully sweet scented and very 

 beautiful. ]Moon vines are considered very curious and remarkable, 

 because the flowers all open just at evening, remain open during the 

 night, and close in the morning about eight o'clock. They open so 

 promptly and regularly that you can stand and see them opening all 

 over the vine at very nearly the same time. Moon vines should be 

 planted in a warm, sunny place, and have poles or trellis to climb 

 on. Their dense, dark-green foliage and beautiful, snow-white 

 flowers always attract attention and are greatly admired. Not 

 hardy. 15 cts. each ; two for 25 cts. ; five for 50 cts.
