Solanum 
Jasminoides 
Grandiflora.

plant, which inclines to 
a trailing or climbing: 
habit, but never attains 
a greater height than 3 
to 3 feet, and can be 
[ •inched back to a bush 
orm. Its llowcrs are 
star-shaped, like a clem¬ 
atis, and borne in enor¬ 
mous panicles or clusters 
often a foot across, lu 
color they arc pure white 
with a violet tinge on 
back of petals, and on 
the buds. In pots it is a 
fine bloomer, both sum¬ 
mer and winter; but its 
grandeur for out-door 
cult ure w h e n trained 
against a wall or trellis, 
and showing hundreds of 
theso maghifieent pani¬ 
cles of bloom, cannot be 
described. It is a free 
and constant bloomer, 
commencing when only 
a foot high, and like the 
Mauettia, i t s flowers 
keep perfect a long time 
before fading. No more 
beautiful object can be 
seen than these two vines 
growiug side by side, and 
mingling their profusion 
of bloom. Strong plants, 
30c. each; 4 for $1 .00. 
The S foreyoino plants 
are the greatest anil best 
perpetual bloomers. For 
only 50c. we will send one
