Antigonon Leptopus 
The Wonderful 
'Mountain Rose. ^J^'".'''^ 
the most remarkable climbinjr 
vines we have ever grown. It is a 
most rapid grower, a most pro- 
fu.se bloomer, and trained on a 
trellis or veranda aflord's an abuii- 
dance of shade during the hot 
summer months. The blossonut 
are most beautiful, being of a rich 
carinine scarlet shade, and borne 
in immense clusters the entire 
(length of the vine. The leaves 
are large and handsome, and the 
whole plant presents a most 
pleasing appearance. It is just 
the plant for people who wish 
something showy and attractive, 
that will grow and blossom 
(piicUly. We cannot recommend 
it too highly and are sure it will 
plea.se. 15c each. 
(Chenille Plant.) («ee cut.) Here- 
tofore we have recommended this 
beautilul plant for pot culture only, but our experience of the past 
season shows it is admiiablv adapted for bedding out. It is of easy 
and rapid growth and bloonis continuously. The plant is of braticli- 
ing habit, healthy foliage aiid tlic flowers arc most remarkable. The 
flower spikes •which appear in iiairs from the axils of the leaves, grow 
from two to three feet in length. Thev are of bright crimson color, 
drooping and mixing among the green foliage with charming efl'eet- 
!• or bright and curious effect it has no equal. Wherever the plant 
has been exhibited in this country and in Europe it h.as attracted 
universal attention and admiration. Our illustration is verv true 
though no picture can do justice to the elegance and beauty "of this 
wonderful plant. It grows as easily as a colens, only requiring a 
warm moist atmosphere to develop its wonderful beauty, age each
