Antigonum Leptopus. Rosa Montana. 

 Mountain Vine. One of the finest perennial 

 climbers of rapid growth with long racemes 

 of beautiful deep pink flowers. Being a na- 

 tive of Mexico, it is well adapted to our 

 climate and will stand our most severe win- 

 ters without any further protection than per- 

 haps a slight cover of moss or straw. Sow in 

 February or March in flower pots, and trans- 

 plant into the open ground in May. Will 

 flower freely the first year. Without any 

 doubt the finest climber for this section. 



Aristolochia elegans. A variety of the 

 well known "Dutchman's Pipe," of vigorous 

 growth and quite hardy in our climate. It 



is a profuse bloomer, bearing large flowers of 

 a rich purple color with, irregular branched 

 markings of creamy white and golden yellow 

 center with rich velvety purple. This plant 

 is one of the most thankful of all climbers, 

 blooming when quite young and continuing 

 to do so the whole summer. Will stand our 

 winter without protection. Sow in January 

 and February in flower pots and transplant 

 in open ground when large enough. 



Benincasa cerifera. Wax Gourd. A 

 strong growing vine with long shaped, dark 

 crimson fruit, which looks very ornamental. 

 It is used for preserves.

Mixed Thunbergia.
