Ghildsia 
WTercklel, 
Treasure 
Yipe. 
A new plant, 
entirely unknown to 
science until d i s- 
covere a by Mr. Carlo 
Werckle in 1898 in 
the mountain re¬ 
gions of Costa Rica, 
Central America. It is a 
beautiful climbing composi- 
tae, suitable for cool, shady 
windows or verandas. While 
it will grow to the height of 
10 feet, it blooms profusely 
when very small, its flowers 
being like a Clematis in 
shape, but intense scarlet in 
color, which, added to the 
beauty of its foliage and 
natural grace of growth, 
i makes one of the 
; most elegant flow- 
| ering plants ever 
seen. It is a quick, 
robust grower, and 
so hardy and vigor¬ 
ous that it will stand 
' any amount of 
abuse. Specimens 
which we sent to the 
Royal Botanic Gar¬ 
dens at Kew attracted great attention and it has been 
decided to call it Treasure Yine on occount of its great value, 
scientifically Childsia Wercklei. Good for pots, and flowers 
most profusely during winter and early spring. Planted 
out, it blooms well on trellises late in summer. Should have 
periods of complete rest. 25c. each; 3 for 60c.

succulent. Leaves thick and heavy, closely placed about the 
stems, which are long and droop, and curve beautifully. It

to properly describe it. We have been years working up &
