CENTROSEMA VIRGINICA {-ramliflora). 

 Giant Perennial Sweet Pea or ''Look at Me." 



The finest 

 hardy herba- 

 ceous peren- 

 nial vine of 

 recent intro- 

 duction, surpassing even in its 

 wealth of bloom and beauty, the 

 finest varieties of the superbly 

 grand hybrid Clematis. It forms 

 a mass of graceful, light green 

 foliage, six to eight feet high, 

 which throughout July and Aug- 

 ust is covered with Sweet Pea-like 

 blossoms one and a half to two 

 and a half inches in diameter. 

 The color is a lovely shade of 

 lilac-blue with feathery markings 

 of a deeper shade and a dash of 

 pure, clear white in the centre of 

 [No. 1578. Electro, 40c; postage, 15c. each flower. Occasionally pure 

 white flcnvers appear, while others are broadly margined with a 

 showy, white band. The under surface of the petals being pure 

 white (thus causing the large, unopened buds to appear white also), the plant presents 

 the appearance of producing flowers of varied colors upon the same stem; which is ex- 

 ceedingly interesting and pleasing. Like the Sweet Pea its fragrance is delicate but it 

 differs in that the flov/ers hang with the large petal down 

 instead of erect. 



The plant is perfectly hardy and is well adapted to gen- 

 eral culture. Not only is it of surpassmg beauty but it is 

 such a good plant commercially that we are confident it 

 will increase in popularity from year to year. "Sweet 

 Peas are all the go."
