WISTARIA CHINENSIS.— One of the most beautiful and 

 rapid growing of hardy chmbers. Frequently blooms 

 both in spring and fall; the pale blue pea shaped flow- 

 ers are borne in long, drooping clusters, similar in size 

 and shape to a bunch of grapes. It thrives best in a 

 light, rich soil 20

 of the easiest cultivation. The leaves are covered with 

 a silvery down and the flowers are pure white, deep 

 purple and yellow, single and double. If gathered be- 

 fore fully opened and dried in the shade, they will retain 

 their beauty for years. Hardy annual; one foot high.
