Purple Soudan. 



A very curious and highly decorative climber. The twining 

 stems are of intense purple color, and the beautiful long iiowere, 

 that are produced during the whole summer, are of a brilliant rose, 

 contrasting strikingly with the dark foliage. The numerous pods, 

 which are freely produced, are themselves an ornament to the 

 plant, owing to their dark red color, and also from the fact that it 

 happens very often that at their own base a fresh batch of one 

 or two new "flowers are produced, giving the whole plant a 

 very curious and highly decorative appearance. 



'stands heat exceedingly Avell, and for covering walls, 

 trellises, etc., will be found invaluable.

^^ A splendid perennial shrubby plant which is suitable 

 for pots or the garden, and which blooms freely the first 

 season from seed. Plants grow in a neat, bushy form, with 

 handsome foliage and an abundance of large, pendulous 

 blossoms, shaped like a Centrosema, and of a dark, rich indigo 

 blue color. A very fine plant indeed, and one that is perfectly 

 hardy in the open ground, blooming finely year after year. 

 It is also a good plant for window culture, blooming with ease 

 and freedom, and always attractive. 

 Pkt. 50 seeds, 5c.
