resembles greatly the well-known Wistaria, both 
in vine and foliage, having great bunches of 
beautiful purple flowers, which e-xhale a most 
delightful violet fragrance. Plant the bulbs near 
a fence, porch or trellis, or, in fact, any place you 
desire a good climber. They grow rapidly to a 
great height, and produce fine clusters of flowers 
in abundance through the entire season. Plant 
several bulbs together, if possible, and you will 
be astonished at the wonderful mass of vines 
and flowers that they will furnish in avery short 
time. The bulbs need not be taken upin the fall, 
as they are perfectly hardy. Price, 10c. each, 3

OPSIS ENCLEMANNI. 
This plant was discovered by the world- 
renowned collector. Dr. Hnglemann, from 
which the present stock has been prop- 
agated, and is now for the first time 
offered for sale. It has the vigorous and 
hardy characteristics of the American 
woodbine, with beautiful, glossy foliage, 
laciniated in fives and sometimes sixes. 
But it is quite distinct in having the cling- 
ing tendrils and self-supportinghabit of A. 
Veitchi. In this respect, and also in bril- 
liancy of coloring in the fall, it will rival 
the so-called " Boston Ivy; "and as the 
young plants are much more hardy and 
vigorous, and the foliage and growth are 
decidedly more grraceful, it will undoubt- 
edly become a great favorite as soon as 
it is known. This elegant climber has 
been fully tested in this climate, and fcyind 
to be perfectly hardy. Price, 25c., 8 for 
50c.
