Vinca Vines 
(Vinca Variegata) 
These lovely green and white vines are the real favorites for urns, baskets and 
boxes. Leaves are round, light green in center with white or cream-colored margins. 
Our strain shows a marked degree of variegation. Several different vines will lead 
from the same plant; each vine may be covered with dirt and, if kept moist, roots will 
form at a node, and you will have a new plant. These vines will survive freezing 
weather. If in a protected location, they may even live over the winter. 
20¢ each; 6 for $1.00; 50 for $7.00 
Periwinkle 
(Vinca rosea) 
One of the most satisfactory outdoor bedding plants, as it will

ever, troubled with insects and diseases. Beautiful flowers are 
_ produced, the entire summer on erect, bushy plants having glossy 
dark green leaves. 
Bright Eyes—White flowers with striking rose-colored eye. 
Purity—Pure white flowers. 
Willie Winkle—Bright rose flowers.

Shrimp Plant 
(Beloperone) 
This unusual plant gets its name from the resemblance of the 
inflorescence to the shape of a large shrimp. Originating beneath 
long-lasting reddish-brown bracts, the flowers are white, spotted 
with purple. Succeeds best in a sunny location. 
25¢ each; 12 for $2.50 


Strawberry Begonia 
(Saxifraga sarmentosa) 
Also known as the Strawberry Geranium and Mother-of- 
Thousands. However, it is not a Strawberry, a Begonia or 
a Geranium. In the same manner as the Strawberry, it pro- 
duces many runners, each carrying one or more plantlets. 
Leaves are green above with striking white veins, and reddish 
below. Although not completely hardy, the Strawberry Be- 
gonia will stand a mild winter.
