After through bloom- ing the vine should be well cut back, and later the shoots thinned and regulated. An extremely choice and rare plant. Price. 25c. each Thunbergia Fragrans—The annual climbing Thunbergias are well known to most flower lovers, but this magnificent perennial species is known to but very few, though it was first discovered in India a full century ago. It is of a slender, graceful, climbing habit—much like the annual sorts—with deep green waxy leaves which are cordate or hastate at the base, giving them a very dis- tinct appearance. But its crowning feature is its flowers which are produced in the great profusion. Each one is as large as a silver dollar, of the purest waxy whiteness, with a delicate lemon yellow spot in the center or throat. The plants begin to flower while quite small and eontin-ue almost incessantly. It is equally valuable for open ground or pot culture, and after growing all summer it may be cut back and potted for the window in winter. No one should fail to grow this lovely vine. Fine plants 15c. each.

They are large and exceed- ingly showy in conjunction with the deep green, waxy, Laurcl-hke leaves of the vine and are produced in the greatest profusion from No- vember to May. The vine is a rapid grower, and is excellent for cover- ing trellises. West India Rattle-gox, (Crotalaria Return.) A low-g
