^ GENUINE 

 nOON FLOWER. 



We are grooving large quan- 

 tities of the genuine Moon- 

 flower, and will be able to 

 fill all orders of the most 

 popular of all climbing 

 plants. It is a rapid grower, 

 and will climb anywhere, 

 on old walls or where there 

 arestrings to cling to, on trel- 

 lises arbors, fences, etc., 

 often growing as much as 50 

 feet in one season. No climb- 

 er grows so rapidly, or will 

 cover so large an area in so 

 short a period of time. A 

 single plant will produce 

 from 40 to 100 blooms every 

 evening. Th e flowers bloom 

 j ust at dusk . and create great 

 surprise and enthusiasm, as 

 the process of expanding and 

 opening may be easily followed by the eye, when in the space 

 of a few minutes the birth of the flower is complete. This 

 bursting forth is preceded by trembling of the stem, and so 

 continues until the flower is fully disclosed to the admiration 

 of all. The fiOAvers are a pure white, about 15 inclies in cir- 

 cumference, emitting a ricli Jessamine odor. Strong plants, 

 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts., postpaid. 



FAUST'S liAWN SNRICHE^R 



should be sown broadcast in spring or fall. It is more de- 

 sirable than manure, which is often full of weed seeds. Can 

 also be used during the summer without injury or danger of 

 burning the grass, and a remarkable improvement will soon 

 be observed. Apply 5 lbs. to 150 square feet. Price. 5 lbs., 

 25 cts. ; 25 lbs., $1.25 ; 100 lbs., $3.75 ; per ton, 860.00.
