MEXICAN MOUNTAIN BEAUTY. 



Although introduced some fifteen years ago this most beauti- 

 ful vine IS only just beginning to be appreciated, so much so,, 

 tliat even now seedsmen are illustrating it in colors. Few 

 plants, indeed, are more delightful when in bloom, and when 

 compared to a scarlet-flowering wistaria the truth is not very 

 greatly exaggerated. When thoroughly established the roots 

 send forth an abundance of bright green foliage which i& 

 almost hidden by the Icfng dense wreaths of bright carmine 

 fl(jwers, lasting in beauty and perfection for weeks and months,, 

 a sight almost impossible to surpass. For porches, verandahs 

 fences or trellisses, for climbing over rocks or old trees it will 

 prove a grand acquisition. 



The roots are easily raised from seed and are quite hardy with 

 a slight protection. 



Owing to the sudden great demand much worthless seed ha& 

 hcen placed upon the market; ours is of 1899 crop. Per packet, 

 10 cts.
