The most Beautiful Climbers— unsurpassed for beauty of flowers and foliage, freedom of bloom and rapid growth. 



1746. Mikado Strain. A great addition; flowers of immense size, good substance and a great variety of 

 forms and colors — see above illustration. The vines are of strong growth, often attaining a height of over 30 feet; 

 foliage luxuriant, distinct and varied, many leaves being beautifully mottled light and dark green. The flowers 

 are very large, often measuring from 4 to 6 inches across — remaining open the greater part of the day. The 

 colors of the flowers, shadings and markings are unlimited and beyond description. They are of all shades of 

 red, indigo and royal purple: also white, yellow, gray, brown, almost black, and many other odd shades not 

 found in any other flower. Many varieties have a distinct maigined band, and some are elegantly spotted; 

 others are striped, blotched and shaded in an indescribable manner. They are of easy culture and should be on 

 every lattice or screen. Our seed is imported from Japan, aud will produce results, which will more than equal
