Bignonia Grandiflora 



Mammoth- Flowered Trumpet-Creeper. 



THIS is one of the most superb climbing vines in 

 existence. It is absolutely distinct, both in foliage 

 and flower. Grows with rapidity and abandon 

 that is nothing short of remarkable, is perfectly hardy 

 everywhere, having withstood unprotected in our groiind_ a 

 continued temperature of I6 degrees below zero; while iis 

 large, showy flowers are produced in the most amazing pro 

 fusion. It will give absolute satisfaction. For covering un 

 sightly places, stumps, dead walls, fences, or for training 

 over a porch or trellis ; in fact, wherever a beautiful climbing 

 vine is needed, it is unequaled. The flowers are trumpet 

 shaped, of large size, fully 3 inches long, and borne profusely in 

 clusters of 25 to 35 each, for several weeks duringthe growing 

 season. The color is warm orange-red. The foliage is exceed- 

 ingly beautiful, rich, dark green, shining as if varnished like that 

 of the Camellia. Do not confuse it with the old-fashioned 

 Trumpet-Creeper. It is as far superior to it as the American 

 Beauty Rose is to the old-fashioned single rose.

 dozen, postpeiid. Larger plants, 35 cts. each; 3 for $1 ; $3*50

 Moonflower. 



The Most 

 Rapid - Climbing Vine 



in Existence. 



FOR making a quick, dense screen small pot planls 

 in a month to six weeks afford shade for a porch of 

 ordinary size. Its vigor 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 on a single vine. It will grow in any 

 ordinary situation. The fioweis are 4 to 6 inches in 

 diameter, of a beautiful silvery or moonlike whiteness ; 

 delightfully perfumed, with a rich Magnolia odor, and 

 are open in greatest profusion in the evening and on 

 cloudy days. A Moonflower vine, in full bloom on a 

 moonlight evening in Sunnner, is indeed an object of 

 lovely beauty ; the illustration gives a good idea of the 

 general efTect, but it must be seen to be fully appreciated. 

 Price, strong plants, 1 5 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.; 10 for $1. 



NOTICK. Neither I])<M)i<>ea Noetiflora nor Leari are 

 liardy ; after the first frost the tops should he cut back to 

 within about one foot of the i^rouiul ; then remove the 

 roots indoors to living room.
