The Brilliant Tlumbergias 
T. grandiflora. "Sky Flower." In mild locations a magnifi¬ 
cent vine. Of extremely rapid growth, with large heart- 
shaped leaves which overlap to make a dense covering, the 
individual three-inch blossoms hanging in clusters over the 
plant, and with a color that is rare in vines, bright sky-blue.

middle of winter as in the spring. One of the 
most beautiful foliage vines that we grow.
