greenhouse, and it has been more admired than any other plant we pos¬ 
sess. It has had one of the largest sales ever known for a new plant, we 
having Inst year sold about 70,000, and refused orders for 12,000 to l. r >.oo0 
more uftcr our stock was exhausted. Wo have reason to believe that . 
many people are offering the old Manettia Cordifolia as M anettia . 
Bicolor- Cordifolia is very good in its way, but it blooms only two or 1 
three months in the year, while our Manettia Bicolor blooms all the time. B 
Order direct from us and get the true Manettia BlCOLOU. Our stock is 1 
large enough this year so that we can supply, all through the season, 
strong, healthy plants already budded and blooming, at 25c. each.

Manettia (^ordifolia. 
This is an old plant, though rarely seen. It differs from Bicolor in all 
respects. The vine is of a more slender growth, the (lowers longer and of 
a crimson color, and lacking the yellow tip and scarlat hairs of Bicolor. 1 1 
blooms only during late summer and fall. It makes a lino growth during 
summer, and in August and September the vines are loaded with a great 
profusion of bloom, during winch time it is exceedingly showy. It is 
worthy of a position in every garden. It is the plant generally sold as 
Manettia Vine, but it is not the true one. The truo, cverbloomiug 
Manettia Vine is M. Bicolor. We can supply One plants of Manettia Cor¬ 
difolia at 15c. each; 4 for 50c. ltemember that the price of Manettia 
Bieolor Is 25c. each.
