Mountain Beauty Vine 
Antigonon Lcptopus, 
This is a new climbing vine of striking and 
remarkable beauty, and though not quite hardy 
here is especially recommended for the 
South and Pacific Coast where it will no doubt 
give immense satisfaction. It is a strong vigorous 
climber suitable for covering walls, porches, veran¬ 
das, fences, etc., has handsome foliage and is cov¬ 
ered for months at a time with splendid clusters of 
bright crimson flowers, like flaming red Wistaria. 
Those who have seen it in bloom in the South say 
it is the most magnificent flowering vine they ever 
saw,'and in parts of Central America where it 
abounds, it is said to color the mountains with a 
blaze of glowing crimson. It is certainly unequal¬ 
led in brilliant beauty among climbing vines, and 
we hope our Southern and California friends will 
give it a liberal trial. Good strong plants, 20 
cts. each; 3 for 50 cts.; $1.75 per doz., 
postpaid.
