The vines grow quickly to a height of 12 to 20 feet. The flowers are of gigantic size, sometimes meas- uring four to five inches across. The colors of the flowers, shadings and - markings are really wonde/s of na- = ture, of such incomparable beauty that descriptions are inadequate, Some flowers are of deep, rich vel- vety tones, others more daintily tint- ed and shaded than an artist's brush could portray.

This handsome flower origninated on our grounds and was so distinct from all other flowers that it sprang at once into favor. The illustration represents a single stem showing how loaded the plants are with flowers. The name American Banner was given it because it is the only flower we know of that combines the national colors, red, white and blue in each flower. Plants grow to a height of about two feet, good, regular shape, with delicate, fern like foliage, a vigorous grower, and is not injured by dry weather. The plants are fairly loaded with long spikes of double striped and blotched flowers, having the various shades of pink, carmine, dark blue, purple and white, delicately and beautifully blended, sometimes four or five shades on a single floret. Pkt. 10c. Elegant Palms. Those for centuries have been considered exclus- ively for the rich, the plants usually selling at $ to $ each, and in some cases fine plants of the rarer sorts
