The True Magnolia-Scented Moonflower. 



One of the Most Rapid-Climbing Vines in Existence. 



For making a quick, dense shade we recommend this magnificent 

 flowering chmbing vine as one of the best in cultivation. Small pot 

 plants will in a month to six weeks afford shade for a porch of ordi- 

 nary size. fVe have again prepared an enormous stock of splendid 

 plants, all propagated from well-ripened, blooffiing -wood g)'own in 

 the open air on our g) ounds. We, therefore, guarantee ez'ery plant 

 ive send out as beifig the TRUE MAGNOLIA-SCENTED 

 AIOON'FLPWER, sure to bloom the first season. Its strength 

 and rapidity of growth is something amazing ; 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 o?t a single vine. It will grow in any 

 ordinary situation. The flowers are quite large, being 4 to 6 

 inches in diameter, and of a beautiful silvery or moonlike whiteness; 

 they are delightfully perfumed, with a rich Magnolia odor, and are 

 open in greatest profusion in the evening and on cloudy days. A 

 Moonflorver 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 Vine will be included 

 in ez'ery order. 



Price, strong plants, 15 cts. each; 4 for 50 cts.; 10 for $1. 



NOTICE. — Neither Ipomoea Noctiflora nor Leari is hardy; after 

 the first frost, the top should be cut back to within about one foot 

 of the ground; then remove the roots indoors to living-room. 



THE BLUE MOONFLOWER, 



IpomcEa Leari. 



This distinct and charming novelty is valuable on account of being 

 in beautiful and striking contrast with the true White Moonflower 

 (described above); habit of growth and flowering the same. The 

 color is exquisite clear satiny blue, with well-defined crimson bars ; 

 very distinct. We recommend planting the Blue IMoonflOwer with 

 the White one (Ipomoea Noctiflora), as the effect will be novel and 

 attractive.
