This grand climbing vine, one of the 
most valuable ever sent to us from Japan— 
the source of so many floral wonders—is well worthy of a 
place on pretentious dwelling or humble cottage" No 
‘ written description, no picture in the limited space of a catalogue, 
can do justice to it. To see it in the early fall, covering a porch, 
a trellis, an arbor, a fence, a boundary wall, a slope, or any other 
object where it is planted, with a mass of fleecy whiteness, exhaling 
its delicious, Hawthorne-like fragrance, is to admire and want it. 
Even when the mass of starry flowers is gone, when the fleecy mantle of 
white has vanished for another year, there is another phase of its beautv 
evident. Then is seen the thousands of silvery, raw-silk-like, feathery 
seed vessels hanging in graceful festoons and glistening in the sunlight. Its 
beauty is not alone in its bloom and seed time; its refreshingly green foliage, 
its graceful habit, lend it a beauty unmatched. It will grow fifteen to twenty 
feet in a season, it is insect-proof, it is perfectly hardy, it adapts itself to all situ¬ 
ations, thrives everywhere, and need only be seen to be admired. Price, strong¬ 
blooming plants, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz., $12.00 per 100.

The New Anemone^Flowered Paris Daisy, 
“ Queen Alexandra. ’ ’ 
The flowers are from 2J to 3 inches in diameter, pure white, the greater 
percentage coming full double, not unlike an Anemone-flowered Japanese 
Chrysanthemum, but even the semi-double and single flowers, which ap¬ 
pear on the same plant, are very handsome. This is a great improvement 
on the single “Paris Daisy,” and should be in every collection. (See cut.)
