beauty and dotted with intensely bright, velvety Tittle 
flowers that shine like little stars against their glossy back¬ 
ground of green. Fine for training to small trellises or to 
run up poles or strings.Mixed colors, white scarlet ete.5 & 10 
Gapary gird ploWer. 
A dainty vine with beautiful cut-leaves and pretty deli¬ 
cate flowers of a clear canary yellow. From the color of its 
blossoms, and also from a fancied resemblance of their 
shape to a bird with wings expanded, the plant obtains its 
common name. A pretty vine for the window or for a shel¬ 
tered location out of doors. 
MAURANDYA. 
This vine is not 
grown half as much as 
it deserves to be. It has 
an exceedingly grace¬ 
ful habit, very hand¬ 
some, dense foliage, 
pretty, fox-glove like 
blossoms borne in 
great profusion, and 
keeps green until after 
severe frosts. A beau¬ 
tiful vine for hanging 
baskets, with its dainty 
white, maroon, and 
rose-colored blossoms. 
Morpipji Glories.

weed. Brilliant, beautiful flowers of every shade of white, 
blue, pink, scarlet and variegated. 'The standard vine.

lovely purplish blue. Plant seed edgewise in moist hut not

CENTROSEMA GRANDIFLORA. 
Geptrosenja Graijdiflora. 
This new vine has come to stay. It is easy to grow,quick 
to bloom, beautiful in flower and leaf, and is a hardy peren¬ 
nial, lasting for years. It will flower the first season from 
seed, and autumn frosts will find it still in bloom. It is a low 
graceful climber, growing only six to eight feet high, which 
makes it far more suitable for a low trellis or lattice work, 
ir to train around a door or window in summer, than a tall¬ 
er, larger-leaved vine would be, and its masses of large in¬ 
serted pea-shaped blossoms, two inches or more across, and 
Dome in clusters of four to eight flowers together, are very 
showy and pleasing. Fill a small vase with its dainty, bright 
Bowers and foliage alone, and see how lovely thev are for 
jutting. In color they range from rosy violet and reddish 
purple, with exquisite feathering or bordering of pure white 
to pure snow white. The rosy violet shades are most com¬ 
mon, but as the buds and the back of the flowers of the dark 
Varieties are pure white, each vine has the appearance of 
Rearing different colored flowers at once. The winning way 
In which the flowers look up at one has won them the fanci¬ 
ful name of Look-at-me Vine. Per nkt
