MOSQUITO PLANT (Vincetoxum), or Cruel 
Plant. There are but two species known in 
America. A hardy plant that will grow any¬ 
where. Derived its name from the fact that 
when an insect seeks its sweet fluid it becomes 
a prisoner. Of course it is not an insect eradi- 
oator. Very odd and a study for the plant lover. 
Ultimate height—-one foot. The small, star¬ 
shaped, white flowers appear in clusters of four 
or five at the terminax of each leaf. The leaves 
are small and a shiny emerald green of heavy 
texture. Very graceful and an artistic cut flower 
for unique effect. Botanist Bassett, who died 
twenty years ago at the age of ninety, brought 
this plant into cultivation. Its origin is obscure. 
The plant has no bad habits and remains in one 
place without transplanting. Propagation by 
dividing. 
During the half century of propagation we 
have a nice stock to offer. 2 Ig. flowering clumps 2 1.00

This vine may be set outdoors in early Spring. 
It will flower all Summer. Though half hardy it

blue water lily-like flowers plainly show the 
following theological facts: The ten apostles, 
omitting Peter and Judas, the traitors; the 
crown of thorns by the massive filaments; the 
stamens are five, suggesting the five wounds; 
above these rise the three nails; the curling ten¬ 
drils represent the scourges; the digitate leaves, 
the head of a lance.
