Charming half-hardy Mexican climb- ing annual, closely resembling the Ipomoeas both in growth and foliage, though from its flowers quite distinct from that genus.

In color they are as singular as they are attractive ; the buds are, at first, of a vivid red, but turn to orange yellow im- mediately before they open, and when fully ex- panded the flowers are of a creamy white shade. They are freely produced from the base to the summit of the plant, which attains a height of from 18 to 20 feet and constitutes a strikingly beautiful object. Like the Cypress Vine (Ipomoea Qua- moclit), with which it has much in common, this rapid growing species cannot fail to become popular. Per pkt., 25 cts. PANSY, TRIMARDEAU. No. 6234. An entirely new and distinct variety. The plants are of strong, compact habit; the flowers are carried well above the foliage, and are marked with three large blotches. They are of re- fined form and of a size hitherto unattained in this genus. The true Trimardeau Pansies of French origin,seed much less freely than any other class ; the stock we offer was saved exclusively from fine formed flowers of the richest colors. Per pkt., 50 cts. fcara^y^/ttyaol o.^ No. 6235. When the Trimardeau Pansies were sent out, it was thought that the acme of Pansy culture was attained, but the beautiful strain now offered far surpasses it in size. Each petal is ex- quisitely stained ; the richness and depth of color- ing are simply marvelous. The plants are vigorous and hardy, and bear profusely, on long stalks, per- fectly shaped flowers. This strain will attract attention, and become popular. Per pkt., 50 cts.
