The Mountain Beauty 



(ROSA DE MONTANA). 

 Bears Immense Cltts t ers of Carmine 

 Flowers Like a "Wistaria . . ♦ , 



O popular has this grand Vine become that 

 we have been unable to supply the de- 

 mand for it for two years past. For this 

 season we have prepared a stock of 

 twenty-five thousand plants which we trust will 

 prove an ample supply. 



It is one of the most beautiful as well as one 

 of the rarest Climbers in existence, the true 

 stock of which is very scarce. It might be well called 

 Carmine Wistaria, so similar are the lovely clusters 

 of flowers with those of W\s(aria. The foliag^e, as well 

 as habit of growth, resembles Ampelopsis Veitchii, 

 one of the most popular and valuable of hardy Climbers. 

 The flowers are borne in prodigious profusion, and a 

 well-established plant, loaded with its gorgeous carmine 

 flowers, is one of the grandest sights we have ever seen, 

 Imagme a plant of Ampelopsis Veitchii with its 

 magnificent, large, deep green foliage covering the entire 

 side of an ordinary dwelling, loaded down with large 

 clusters of carmine flowers, and you can form an idea of 

 the splendor of ^lountain Beauty ! 

 It is a rapid grower, and adapts itself to any soil, locality or 

 exposure. For covering posts, pillars, verandas, trellises — in 

 fact, for general climbing purposes — it will supersede many of 

 the now popular climbers. It is a brilliant plant in every 

 respect. It has proven hardy with us here, with protection. 

 There has been some complaint of its' not being hardy in the 

 Northwest, where the Winters are long and very severe, but inasmuch 

 as we have not given it a test in such localities, we will not guarantee 

 that it will stand such unusual Winters. The price is exceedingly low, 

 audit is well worth 

 atrial. We believe 

 that it will satisfy 

 every one who 

 plants it. By all 

 means include a 

 few plants in your 

 order. 



Emerald Feather 



(Asparagus Sprengeri). 



The Most Magnificen t Decorative 

 . . . Plant Ever Introduced . . . 



IT has fairly bounded into popularitv. For planting in pots, vases 

 or hanging baskets it is positively unequaled. As a hanging bas- 

 ket plant it is unbeatable ; it droops most naturally, sending out 

 numerous feathery fronds which in a very short time make a growth 

 of 4 to 8 feet, forming an exquisitely handsome and striking picture. 

 With its bright, emerald-green foli?ige, it presents a sight not soon 

 forgotten. It resists all diseases that attend house plants, and will 

 withstand a dry atmosphere as no other plant will. It produces small 

 white flowers which are succeeded by red berries. A well-established 

 plant is literally a mass of emerald green. We have plants in our 

 greenhouses 3 to 4 feet across, with fronds 6 to 10 feet in length. Do 

 not miss this treasure. It will delight you as no other plant will.
