 form on different plants, 

 some flowers being scallop- 

 ed, others perfectly round, 

 others five pointed or star- 

 shaped ; the foliage also 

 varies from the original shape 

 to oak - leaved and heart- 

 shaped forms, thus adding charm and interest to this grand 

 climber. If planted in a warm, sunn}- position, it will give 

 delight to all who cultivate it, growing with great rapidity to 

 a height of 50 feet; the luxuriant, rich bright green foliage 

 makes an admirable shade for verandas, arbors, etc., and 

 when the magnificent, pure white flowers, five toi seven 

 inches across, are open, which is from early evening until 10 

 to 12 o'clock the next morning, the effect is indescribably 

 grand. Per pkt., 10 cts.
