THE NEW PARADISE FLOWER 
(SOLANUM WENDLANDII.) 
S INCE introducing this splendid plant, we have watched its habit with great interest. 
At first, we thought it best to treat it as a climbing vine, for porch or trellis, but 
we have found that it blooms quicker and better when set in a n ordinary bed and 
given no support at all ; in this way it begins to bloom very quickly and will soon be 
covered all over with immense clusters of large, sky-blue blossoms presenting a most 
striking and beautiful effect and continuing to increase in beauty till killed down by 
frost; the flowers are over two inches across, and the clusters contain from 30 to 50 flowers and buds at 
a time. 3 or 4 plants set in a 4-foot bed will be a mass of lovely bloom for months. Strong Plants, 
15 cts. each ; 3 for 40 cts., $1.50 per doz., postpaid. Larger size 25 cts., 3 for 65 cts., postpaid: $2.00 per 
doz.; by express.
