HARDY CLinBERS. 



CENTROSEMA QRANDIFLORA. 



Many old and neglected plants are really valuable and preeminently satisfac- 

 tory. But one that is entirely new to cultivation, and at the same time is one of 

 the very best in actual merits, is decidedly most desirable. 



C. Qrandiflora is just such a plant. It is a hardy perennial vine of rare and 

 exquisite beauty, which blooms earlj^ in June from seed sown in April, and bears in 

 greatest profusion inverted pea-shaped flowers, from one and one-half to two and 

 le-half inches in diameter, and ranging in color from a rosy violet to a reddish 

 I nrple, with a broad feathered white marking through the center, while the large 

 jds and the back of the flowers are pure white, making it appear as if one plant 

 liore many different colored flowers at one time. Occasionally plants produce 

 I ire white flowers, while others are broadly margined with a white feathering. 

 1 lowers are produced in great abundance, sometimes six to eight in a cluster. Stem and 

 liage are veiy graceful and of a delightful odor, well adapted for every garden purpose, 

 pecially as a climber, running six to eight feet in a season. Will bloom until frost, and if 

 potted will no doubt bloom in the house. One of its most attractive features is the way 

 the flowers seem to look up at you. Every imaginative person sees faces in the pansy, a:nd 

 this is even more suggestive in this plant. Per packet, 25c.
