THE NEW GIANT MOONFLOWER 



(Ipomea Maxima Grandiflora) 

 Blooms at Night and on Cloudy Days 



It is an extremely rapid growing Annual. In the latitude 

 of New York plants set out early in May will grow from 30 

 to 40 feet before the end of the season. The foliage is lush 

 and dense, making it ideal for screening purposes. The flow- 

 iers, which are produced in great abundance are, however, 

 the chief attraction of this vine. They are pure glistening 

 'white of majestic proportions, often over seven inches in 

 diameter, and as if this were not enough, they possess an 

 enchanting fragrance reminiscent of the Sweet Magnolia. 



An outdoor living room enclosed with a trellis covered with 

 The New Giant Moonflower, would present a veritable fairy- 

 land on a moonlit summer's night. 



Price, 30c each; $1.00 for 4; $2.50 doz.; $20.00 hundred. 



CHINESE FLEECE OR SILVER LACE VINE 



(Polygonum Auberti) 



It is our experience that this hardy vine will thrive 

 better in windswept exposed places such as roof gardens, 

 than any other known vine, and it does well in direct sun- 

 light or in the shade. 



The Chinese Fleece will attain a height of about 25 feet 

 during the season, and in late summer it produces panicles of 

 small white flowers that resemble strings of silvery beads. 

 The foliage is bright shiny green and prolific; the vine is ideal 

 for covering porches, pergolas, trellises, etc. 



Price, 60c each; $2.00 for 4; $5.50 per doz 



THE "SPOON" CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



A New Type. Perfectly Hardy — Lovely for Cutting 



The Spoon Chrysanthemums develop into symmetrical 

 rounded bushes about two feet high and two feet across, and 

 in the latter part of October are covered completely by the 

 dainty flowers which average one and one-half inches across. 

 They are perfectly hardy and add much to the beauty of the 

 Rock Garden or perennial border during the Autumn months. 

 The flowers are produced on straight wiry stems, thereby 

 making them very desirable for cutting. They are charming 

 for table decorations, excellent for pot and culture.
