 plants. It is a rapid grower,

 arastrings to cling to, on trel- 

 lises arbors, fences, etc., 

 often growing as much as 50 

 feetinonesea?on. Is o climb- 

 er grows so rapidly, or will 

 cover so large an arpa in so 

 short a period of time. A 

 single plant will produce 

 from 40 to 100 blooms every 

 evening. The flowers bloom 

 just at dusk, and create great 

 surprise and enthusiasm, as 

 the process of expanding and 

 opening may be easily followed by the eye, when inthe 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 flowers are a pure white, about 15 inches in cir- 

 cumference, emitting a rich Jessamine odor. Strong plants, 

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