Antigonon Leptopus 
Mountain Rose. 
A lovely climber from Central Mexico, with beautiful 
rose-colored flowers in racemes two feet long. The pro¬ 
fusion of bloom Is such as to give the resemblance of 
Hoses at a distance, hence the Mexican name "Rosa de 
Montana," or “Mountain Rose." Described by its discov¬ 
erer as the most beautiful climber he had ever beheld. 
This Is moderately hardy with protection. The vines are 
killed to the ground by frost, but it quickly shoots up in 
the spring, and develops its flowers from June till frost.

flowers are more than twice the size of the old variety, 
oftentimes measuring from six to seven and one-half 
inches across, and are produced in such wonderful profu¬ 
sion that they completely cover the vine with a veil of 
I glistening waxy white. We recommend this to all florists 
as the best thing in Moon Vines. As we always sell out 
of Moon Vines, never having enough to go around, you 
had better place your order early. Our stock of fifty 
thousand of this vine is fine, but will melt away as fast 
; as a snow bank on a warm May morning. 50 cents per 
dozen; $4.00 per hundred.
