Ipomea Pandurata. 



HARDY WHITE 



MOON-FLOWER. 



(White Fringed Ipomea.) 



This is one of the most rapid growing vines in 

 cultivation, having a large tuberous root that is 

 perfectly hardy. A root three or four years 

 planted will send up quite a number of strong shoots, that 

 climb rapidly to a height of 30 to 40 feet. These shoots 

 branch freely from the ground up, forming a perfect net- 

 work of strong branches, densely covered from early sum- 

 mer to late autumn with its large, deep green, heart- 

 shaped leaves, which overlap each other, forming a dense 

 screen. 



The flowers, which are very large, are a pure satiny white, 

 with a pinkish purple throat, shading off deeper in the tube. 

 10 cts. each, 12 for §1.00. 



LATHYRUS EATIFOEIUS ALBA.
