PASSIFLORA (Passion Flower Vine). 



Attractive climbers, covering a large space in a remarkably short time,

borne freely, even on quite small plants. They are of a rich shade of 



blue, suffused with rose. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz. 

 Princeps. This is one of the best greenhouse climbers, a rare and showy 



variety with bright red flowers. 50 cts. each.

 plants, and as a border to a bed of Cannas or Caladium 

 esculentum they stand in a class by themselves.

 Fountain Grass). Foliage gracefully re- 

 curved, of a pleasing dark metallic, coppery-
