IPOMCEA GRANDIFLORA. 
This plant has been advertised so extensively 
that a description of it is hardly necessary. It 
is called “Moon Flower” from its rare peculiar' 
ity of blooming best at night, although it also 
expands its flower in dull days : the flowers are 
of pure white, from five to six inches in diameter, 
emitting a rich Jessamine-like odor at night. 
Observe a plant in full bloom at sun-down, and 
the flowers will be seen to open, giving out a 
slight snapping sound as they expand. Being 
a free bloomer, the effect on a moonlight night 
is charming, and we have few plants that can 
rival it for rapidly of growth, density of foliage 
and amount of flowers. Having the true Moon 
Flower, we offer it at moderate prices. Large 
size, Packet io cents. , 
COB/EA SCANDENS or MEXI¬ 
CAN GLORY. 
Although now a new plant, there is no vin e 
that is so splendidly adapted for covering trel¬ 
lises, running up porches, houses, old trees, 
arbors, etc., and at the same time is so exquis 
itely beautiful as Cobaea Scandens. Planted i n 
January and allowed to grow at random it wi j 
climb and run onward and upward until i t 
reaches the roof of a two-story house, and all 
the while bring forth upon long stems blossoms 
of the most beautiful purple hue imaginable. 
Planted with the Moon Flower they rival each 
other as to which shall reach the top of roof 
first, and will all the while display a purple blos¬ 
som glory unknown to any other flower or vine. 
The purple Clematis Jackmanni is beautiful 
but its duration of bloom is comparatively short' 
while the Cobaea Scandens continually lavishes 
its mass of great purple bell-shaped perfect 
pendant blossoms during the whole season. Its 
leaves are fresh, green of unusual richness and 
beauty of cut, while the gorgeoifs glory of its 
great purple blossoms stands unrivalled, and 
another characteristic of the plant is that al¬ 
though it should not be planted out till it is warm 
as it delights in warmth and moisture, it stands 
all of the early fall frosts, till actual freezing 
weather. Moon Flower and Cobaea Scandens 
together as vines cannot be excelled, and we 
expect our friends to be much pleased with their 
beautiful growth and bloom. Packet io cents
