THE DINGEE & CONARD COMPANY'S 



The True Magnolia=scented Moon Flower, Ipomoe a Noctiflora. 



This magnificent flowering climbing 

 vine has given such universal satisfaction, 

 and has attained such great popularity, that 

 we cannot commend it too strongly, as it is 

 undoubtedly the best all round flowering 

 vine of its type gTown. "We have again 

 prepared an enormous stock of splen- 

 did i lants, all propagated from well- 

 ripened blooming' wood, grown in 

 the open air on our grounds. We, 

 therefore, guarantee every plant "we 

 send out as being the TRUE MAG- 

 NOLIA-SCENTED MOON-FLOWER, 

 sure to bloom the first season. The 

 plant is a remarkably strong and rapid 

 grower; a single vine has been known to 

 cover twenty-five square feet in a very short 

 time. It is a wonderfully profuse bloomer; 

 upwards of a thousand Buds and Flowers 

 are frequently seen on a single vine. It will 

 grow in any ordinary situation. The flowers 

 are quite large, being four to six inches in 

 diameter, and of a beautiful silvery or moon- 

 like whiteness; they are delightfully per- 

 fumed, with a rich Magnolia odor, and are 

 open in greatest profusion in the evening 

 and on cloudy days. A Moon-Flower Vine, 

 in full bloom on a moonlight evening in 

 Summer, is indeed an object of lovely 

 beauty ; the illustration gives a good idea ■ 

 of the general effect, but it must be seen to 

 be fully appreciated. At the low price offered, 

 we expect this Superb Novelty -will be in- 

 cluded in every order. 



Price, strong plants, 15 cts. each; 4 for 

 50 cts. ; 8 for $1 ; 16 for $2. 



Notice. — In answer to the numerous in- 

 quiries received every year in reference to 

 the hardiness of Ipomcea Noctiflora and 

 Leari, we say that neither variety is hardy ; 

 after the first frost, the top should be cut 

 back within about one foot of the ground ; 

 then remove the root in-doors to living 

 room. If desirable it can be utilized as a 

 pot plant throughout the Winter ; at the 

 arrival of Spring can be planted again in 

 open ground after all danger of frost is past. 



THE TRUE MAGNOLIA-SCENTED MOON FLOWER, IPOMCEA NOCTIFLORA. 



The Blue Moon Flower, Ipomoea Leari. 



This distinct and charming novelty is valuable on account of being in 

 beautiful and striking contrast with the true White Moon Flower (described 

 above) ; habit of growth and flowering the same. The color is exquisite 

 clear satiny blue, with well-defined crimson bars ; very distinct. We recom- 

 mend planting the Blue Moon Flower with the White one (Ipomcea Nocti- 

 flora), as the effect will be novel and attractive. Price, strong plants, 20 cts. 

 each ; 3 for 50 cts.; 6 for gi. 

 The Blue Moon Flower and the White Moon Flower, one plant cf each, 30 cts. 



The Manettia Vine. 



This lovely vine commences to bloom when quite small, and thrives for 

 all with small care; grown in the open ground during Summer, it will attain 

 a good height, upwards of ten feet, branching freely, while in the house or 

 conservatory it will train beautifully, presenting lovely wreaths and garlands 

 of brilliant scarlet and orange-colored flowers, interspersed with clean, bright, 

 oblong foliage. The flowers are really very curious, and borne in great num- 

 bers at all angles at the ends of stiff stems, four crisply curled leaves at the 

 base of each flower. The substance is thick and lasting, and of shining orange 

 color, which is seen clear at the tip and in the throat ; the rest of the flower 

 is covered with a profuse silky growth, shining crimson in color, which, with 

 the orange, makes an intense scarlet effect ; the flowers keep firm and bright 

 for weeks before falling. 25 cts. each ; 3 for 60 cts. 



The Cinnamon Vine. 



A charming, rapid grower, readily attaining a height of 20 feet, and 

 considered by many to be the most valuable climber of its type in culti- 

 vation. We recommend and consider it to be extremely desirable as a 

 Winter blooming vine for window and house culture. It is entirely hardy, 

 therefore a splendid outdoor climber; the stem dies down in the Fall and 

 revives again in early Spring, with renewed energy, completely covering in a 

 short time any trellis, window or veranda with its verdant and luxuriant foli- 

 age, which is heart-shaped, and a cheery glossy green in color. The delicate 

 white flowers are produced in profusion and are deliciously sweet, emitting a 

 delightful cinnamon odor, Roots, 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.; 8 for $1.
