BEST PLANTS FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE. 



One of ihe most showy and attractive summer vines 

 and entirely distinct from the well-known Manettia vine. 

 It is of rapid growlli, 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 siems than ihe ordi- 

 nii) 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 

 imsi of flow ering crimson scarlet of a most pleasing shade, and of sharp 

 coniiasttothe loliage. Owing to the length of the stems and graceful form 

 of the floweis (lie slightest breeze gives them a graceful wavy motion, which 

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

 ulieie 1 grac ful \ine i^ le luired, 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 fro.sts that cut down all other soft wooded plants.
