THE DINGEE & CONARD COMPANY'S 



The Manettia Vine. 



It is now the third year since this remarkable Vine was first 

 prominently introduced and created great interest, being everywhere 

 appreciated as a valuable novelty, perhaps the most striking of recent 

 introduction. This lovely Vine commences to bloom when quite 

 small, and it may be said of it with more truth than any other flower, 

 that with decent care there is not a day of the plant's life it is with- 

 out flowers. The Vine thrives for all with small care; grown in 

 the open ground during Summer, it will attain a good height, 

 upwards of ten feet, branching freely, while in the house or con- 

 servatory it will train beautifully, presenting lovely wreaths and 

 garlands of brilliant scarlet and orange-colored flowers, interspersed 

 witli clean, bright, oblong foliage. The flowers are really very 

 curious, somewhat larger than shown in our illustration, and, as 

 will be seen, borne in great numbers at all angles at the ends of 

 stiff' stems, four crisply curled leaves at the base of each flower. 

 The substance is thick and lasting, and of shining orange color, 

 which is seen clear at the tip and in the throat ; the rest of the 

 flower is covered with a profuse silky growth, shining crimson m 

 color, which, with the orange, makes an intense scarlet effect. The 

 flowers keep firm and bright for weeks before falling, and we do 

 not know of anything now offered so likely to please every one as 

 this valuable novelty.
