MANETTIA VINE, 
The most magnificent flowering vine in 
cultivation, either for the house or garden, 
for it is loaded with bloom every day in the 
year. In the house it can be trained all 
around a window, and will be a solid 
wreath of bloom both summer and winter. 
In the garden, its charming beauty sur- 
passes everything. Flowers intense scar- 
let, tipped with yellow ; the most brilliant 
and striking combination, and borne by 
the thousand. Each flower keeps perfect 
over a month before fading. It is of the 
easiest culture, and sure to thrive for any 
one with ordinary care. It can be trained 
on a trellis, strings, or used for drooping 
from hanging baskets ; in any way a perfect 
mass of the most lovely flowers and foliage
