. The Cypress Vine is a 
beautiful climber, with 
delicate, feathery, dark 
f ;reen foliage, which for 
wo or three months will 
be dotted over with bright, 
velvety, little star-shaped, 
scarlet or white flowers.

an old stump or over rock 
work, and if planted in a 
rich soil will grow to a 
height of twenty feet.

NEWCALIFORNIA GIANT COSMOS. 
This new strain of California Ciant Cosmos, which I offered for the 
first time last year, has received many warm praises. It is raised by 
Mrs. Shepherd, who has developed the finest Cosmos in the world, 
riic blossoms are extra large and surprisingly beautiful, measuring 
sometimes five inches across, in white, pink, mauve and crimson 
shades. I he petals are plain in some flowers, in others fringed and 
beautifully overlapping. Worth raising for its fine, graceful, feathery 
foliage alone, and one should keep a plant or two just to use for green. 
I oiler this splendid Cosmos in separate or mixed colors. Annual. 4
