SOLANUM .00 
JASMINOIDBS 
GRANDIFLORUM. 
A beautiful new plant of trailing or climbing habit, that 
will attain a height of 8 to 5 feet, or it may be grown 
to a bush form by pinching back occasionally. The flow¬ 
ers are borne in large panicles, or clusters, pure white in 
color, with a violet tinge on the back of petals. It is one 
of the most desirable plants for pot culture, as it is a constant bloomer both summer 
and winter ; but to see this plant in all its grandeur it should be set out in the garden 
and grown on a trellis; here the large panicles of bloom will be put forth in almost 
countless numbers; hundreds of them will be produced on a well grown plant. 
Plants each , 25 cents; 3 for 50 cents; 7 for $1.00.
