HARDY CLIMBING PLANTS: |] 
New Yellow Jasmine. 
JASMINUM PRIMULINUM. 
The old-time favorite Jisminum Nudiflorum is especially admired on account of 
its early flowering, its flowers, in a sheltered position or against a warm wall, appearing 
as early as the middle of March. In this new variety, an introduction from China, we 
have almost a counterpart, excepting that its flowers are fully double the size. These 
appear simultaneously with the leaves. It will, no doubt, prove an excellent addition 
to our limited list of early spring-flowering climbers. Not hardy north of Washington, 
Strong plants, 50 cts. each.

Although introduced from Japan in 1879. this grand climber is stillrare. Itis
