BEST PLANTS FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE.

MANETTIA CORDIFOLIA. 



As a pot plant it is unrivalled when 



One of the most showy and attractive summer vines 

 and entirely distinct from the well-known Manettia vine. 

 ^ ~~^* It is of rapid growth, with deep green foliage and a wonder- 

 ful profusion of crimson scarlet tubular flowers one and a 

 half inches long. These are borne on longer stems than the ordi- 

 nary Manettia, and when grown on a trellis, as shown in the illustra- 

 tion, all the flowers grow outward so that the whole surface is a 

 mass of flowering crimson scarlet of a most pleasing shade, and of sharp 

 contrast to the foliage. Owing to the length of the stems and graceful form 

 of the flowers, the slightest breeze gives them a graceful wavy motion, which 

 adds wonderfully to their attractiveness. As a summer climber, in a position 

 iere a graceful vine is reauired, it has no equal, beginning to flower early in July and 

 continuing one mass of bloom until cut down by severe frosts. The plants in our grounds 

 at this writing, November 1st, are still one mass of bloom and have not been affected by 

 the frosts that cut down all other soft wooded plants.
