or Scarlet Queen 

 Cypress Vine 



2052 This new hybrid Cypress Vine is one of the most beautiful climbing annuals that 

 we know of and deserves to be grown in every garden. The foliage, of rich, glossy 

 green is palm-leaf like, with laciniated or fringed edges against which the brilliant 

 scarlet tubular flowers, 1 to lJ-£ inches across, contrast most vividly. In a warm, 

 sunny location, in good soil, it grows about 20 feet in height, is of rapid growth, 

 free from insects and a beautiful vine for trellis, piazza or pergola, being literally 

 bespangled with flowers from July until late fall. The seed is very hard-shelled 

 and germinates quicker when started under glass, but if sown in the open ground 

 the seeds should first be soaked for a few hours in warm water. (See engraving.)

CYPRESS VINE 



These beautiful twining annual climbers are not as much grown as they deserve. 

 Seed started in pots early in the house or hotbed, and the seedlings set out in the garden 

 after danger from frost, will make the plants 20 feet high and be completely covered 

 for 3 months or more with beautiful, star-shaped, tubular flowers borne in clusters that 

 contrast effectively against the feathery, fern-like, bright green foliage. Sown in the 

 open ground they will of course commence flowering later. In the latter event the 

 hard-shelled seed should be soaked in hot water.
