ANTIGONON LEPTOPUS. 



Mexican Mountain Beauty. 



Few plants are 

 more delightful 

 when in bloom than 

 this most beautiful 

 vine, which might 

 almost be termed a 

 scarlet-flowered 

 "Wistaria. The roots 

 send up strong, vig- 

 orous shoots, bear- 

 ing an abundance 

 of bright green fo- 

 liage, which is al- 

 most hidden by the 

 long, pendent, dense 

 racemes of brilliant 

 carmine flowers, 

 lasting in beauty 

 and perfection for 

 weeks and months 

 and continuing 

 throughout the en- 

 tire season to pre- 

 sent a brilliancy of colors almost impossible to surpass. 

 For porches, veraudas, trellises, or for clambering over 

 rocks and stumps, etc., it is unrivaled. The roots are 

 quite hardy, but at the North should be given a slight 

 protection. Once planted they will remain indefinitely 

 and increase in strength and beauty year by year. Ea 

 15c. Seed, pkt., 10c. 



Caryopteris Mastacanthus. 



NEW BELLFLOWERS. 



This lovely Chinese shrub is without a fault, and there 

 is nothing of its kind that produces more abundant 

 bloom It is of singularly neat and clean habit, grow- 

 ing about three feet high and blooms from early August 

 until after hard fi'osts; long after the hardest native 

 flowers have ceased. The flowers are produced in the 

 most astonishing profusion in axillary clusters, cover- 

 ing the entire bush with its beautiful bloom. When 

 cut and placed in water the flowers last in perfection 

 for a long time, and are very attractive Tvitb their 

 pleasant, aromatic fragrance and graceful delicate 

 appearance. If potted and brought into the house it 

 will bloom profusely during the winter months. It is 

 entirely hardy and of the easiest culture, thriving even 

 m the driest and poorest soil. I offer it in the two 

 colors, blue and white. 



Caryopteris IMastacanthus. BLLE SPIRvEA. Rich 

 lavender blue; one of the rarest and most pleasing of 

 colors, especially acceptable late in the season. Strong

Caryopteris .Mastacanthus Alftus. The new variety,

CROTALARIA RETUSA. 



Dwarf Golden Pea. 



Glorious in its wealth of rich, golden yellow, pea- 

 shaped flowers, which are borne in long racemes or 

 spikes all over the plant throughout all summer and 

 until frost. The plant is low and branching in habit, 

 and when covered with its great profusion of bloom 

 resembles a shower of gold. Very showy and rich.
