Biponia grandiflora 



mammotb-Tlowered Crumpet-Creeper 



HIS is one of the most superb climbing vines in existence. 

 It is absolutely distinct, both in foliage and flower. Grows 

 with a rapidity and abandon that is nothing short of 

 remarkable, is perfectly hardy everywhere, having with- 

 stood unprotected in our grounds a continued tempera- 

 ture of 16 degrees below zero ; while its large, showy flowers 

 are produced in the most amazing profusion. It will ^ 

 absolute satisfaction. For covering unsightly places, stump: , 

 dead walls, fences, or for training over a porch or trellis ; in fact, wher- 

 ever 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 during the growing season. 

 The color is warm orange-red. The foliage is exceedingly beautiful, rich, 

 dark green, shining as if varnished like that of the Camellia. Resists all 

 insect attacks. Does equally well in sun or shade, and likes a rich loamy 

 soil. As a quick, free-blooming and absolutely hardy climbing vine, it 

 will be found hard to beat. J) rot 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. Try a few plants of it.

The Most Rapid-Climbing Vine in Existence 



For making a quick, dense screen small pot plants in a month 

 to six weeks afford shade for a porch of ordinary size. We have 

 again prepared an enormous stock of splendid plants, propagated from 

 well-ripened, blooming wood grown on our grounds. We therefore 

 guarantee everu plant we send out as being the TRUE MAGNOLIA- 

 SCENTED MOOONFLOWER, sure to bloom the first season. Its 

 vigor of growth is something amazing ; a single vine has been 

 mown to cover twenty-five square feet in a very short time. It 

 is a wonderfully profuse bloomer ; upwards of a thousand Buds 

 and Mowers are frequently seen on a single vine. It will grow in any 

 ordinary situation. The flowers 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 Moonfiower 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. 



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



NOTICE. — Neither Ipomcea Nocliflora nor Leari are hardy ; after 

 the first frost the tops should be cut back to within about one 

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

 :ing in beautiful contrast with the White Moonfiower (described 

 Jbove); 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 Moonfiower with the 

 JWiite {Ipomoza Noctiflora ) , as the effect will be novel and attractive.
