THE DINGEB & CONARD COMPANY'S 



The True Magnolia=scented Moon Flower, Ipo'moea 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 un- 

 doubtedly the best all-round flowering vine 

 of its type grown. We have again pre- 

 pared an enormous stock of splendid 

 plants, 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 oraer. 



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 roots indoors 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 Flowe r, 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 flowerirfg 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 $1. 

 The Blue Moon Flower and the White Moon Flower, one plant of 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 ciear 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 robust, rapid grower, readily attaining a height cf 20 feet, and con- 

 sidered by many to be the most valuable climber of its type in cultivation. 

 We recommend and consider it to be extremely desirable as a Winter-bloom- 

 ing 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 foliage, which is 

 heart-shaped, and a cherry 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.
