THE WONDERFUL BLUE DAWN FLOWER 
(BLUE MOON VINE) 
Words fail to properly describe the exquisite beauty of the grand masses 
of charming blossoms, borne by this elegant summer flowering vine. It 
is not a new thing, but has never received the attention it deserves. It is 
a strong vigorous climbing vine, and will soon cover a porch trellis with 
handsome foliage and lovely large, bell-shaped flowers of pure 
heavenly blue. The flowers are^so exceedingly beautiful in color and 
form, and are borne in such astonishing profusion as to be almost bewilder¬ 
ing. We ask attention to it, as one of the most beautiful summer-flowering 
vines we know of. Splendid for porch trellises; a nice companion for the 
White Moon Flower. Strong Plants, 15c. each; 2 for 25c.; $1.25 
per doz. 1 Blue and 1 W hite, the 2 for 25c., all postpaid.
