The Mountain Beauty
(ROSA DE MONTANA).
Bears Immense Cltts t ers of Carmine
Flowers Like a "Wistaria . . ♦ ,
O popular has this grand Vine become that
we have been unable to supply the de-
mand for it for two years past. For this
season we have prepared a stock of
twenty-five thousand plants which we trust will
prove an ample supply.
It is one of the most beautiful as well as one
of the rarest Climbers in existence, the true
stock of which is very scarce. It might be well called
Carmine Wistaria, so similar are the lovely clusters
of flowers with those of W\s(aria. The foliag^e, as well
as habit of growth, resembles Ampelopsis Veitchii,
one of the most popular and valuable of hardy Climbers.
The flowers are borne in prodigious profusion, and a
well-established plant, loaded with its gorgeous carmine
flowers, is one of the grandest sights we have ever seen,
Imagme a plant of Ampelopsis Veitchii with its
magnificent, large, deep green foliage covering the entire
side of an ordinary dwelling, loaded down with large
clusters of carmine flowers, and you can form an idea of
the splendor of ^lountain Beauty !
It is a rapid grower, and adapts itself to any soil, locality or
exposure. For covering posts, pillars, verandas, trellises — in
fact, for general climbing purposes — it will supersede many of
the now popular climbers. It is a brilliant plant in every
respect. It has proven hardy with us here, with protection.
There has been some complaint of its' not being hardy in the
Northwest, where the Winters are long and very severe, but inasmuch
as we have not given it a test in such localities, we will not guarantee
that it will stand such unusual Winters. The price is exceedingly low,
audit is well worth
atrial. We believe
that it will satisfy
every one who
plants it. By all
means include a
few plants in your
order.
Emerald Feather
(Asparagus Sprengeri).
The Most Magnificen t Decorative
. . . Plant Ever Introduced . . .
IT has fairly bounded into popularitv. For planting in pots, vases
or hanging baskets it is positively unequaled. As a hanging bas-
ket plant it is unbeatable ; it droops most naturally, sending out
numerous feathery fronds which in a very short time make a growth
of 4 to 8 feet, forming an exquisitely handsome and striking picture.
With its bright, emerald-green foli?ige, it presents a sight not soon
forgotten. It resists all diseases that attend house plants, and will
withstand a dry atmosphere as no other plant will. It produces small
white flowers which are succeeded by red berries. A well-established
plant is literally a mass of emerald green. We have plants in our
greenhouses 3 to 4 feet across, with fronds 6 to 10 feet in length. Do
not miss this treasure. It will delight you as no other plant will.
