Gei}trosen}a Grai^diflora. This new vine has come to stay. It is easy ro grow, quick to bloom, beautiful in fiower and leaf, and is a hardy peren- nial, lasting for years. It will flower the first season from seed, and autumn frosts find it still in bloom. It is a low, graceful climber, growing only six to eight feet hign, which makes it far more suitable for a low trellis or lattice work, or to train around a door or window in summer, than a tall- er, larger-leaved vine would be. and its masses of large, in- verted pea-shaped blossoms, two inches or more across, and borne in clusters of four to eight flowers together, are very showy and pleasing. Fill a small vase with its dainty, bright flowers and foliage alone, and see how lovely they are for cutting. In color they range from rosy violet and reddish purple, with exquisite feathering or bordering of pure white, to pure snow white. The rosy violet shades are most com- mon, but as the buds and the back of the flowersof the dark varieties are pure white, each vine has the appearance of bearing different colored flowers at once. The winning way in which the flowers look up at one has won them the fanci- ful name of Look-at-me Vine 5 & 10 (Zypress Vine. One of the prettiest vines imaginable: slender vines, thickly clothed with dark green, feathery foliage of great beauty, and dotted with intensely bright, velvety little flowers that shine like little stars against their glossy hack- ground of green. Fine for training to small trellises or to run up poles or strings. Mixed Colors- White, pink, scarlet ,1 & 10.
