Hydrangea 



Paniculata 



Grandiflora 



Hydrangea Arborescens Grandiflora 



tie the hardy shrub so well known, the Snowball, in color and makeup, only 

 they are much larger in size and much more striking. One of its most 

 valuable features is its coming into bloom just after the passing of all the 

 early spring shrubs, while its long season of bloom, from early in June through 

 August, renders it a valuable plant not only to the florist, but to the owner of 

 every garden. It is perfectly hardy, standing twenty degrees below zero. Nice 

 young plants, 15c. each, 3 for 40c.; larger plants, 20c. each, 3 for 50c.; strong

Hardy Day- Blooming Moonflower 



(Ipomoea Pandurata.) This is one of the most rampant-growing vines in cul- 

 tivation, having a large tuberous root that is perfectly hardy in Minnesota and 

 Canada. The flowers are large, a pure satiny-white, with pinkish-purple throat, 

 shading off deeper in the tube. The flowers are fully four inches in diameter 

 — Sometimes obtain a diameter of five or even six inches. They are produced 

 in large clusters. A strong plant will give more than one thousand beautiful 

 flowers daily for months at a time, being well distributed over the plant from 

 near the base to the top. The root penetrates the earth so deep that it is not 

 seriously affected by unfavorable weather conditions. 20c. each, 3 for 50c. 



The Wonderful Hardy Japanese Kudzu Vine 



(Pueraria Thunbergiana, "Jack-and-the-Bean-Stalk" Vine.) A vine that 

 will grow anywhere in the best or poorest soil. The most remarkable and rapid 

 growing of all hardy vines, often making a growth of fifty to seventy-five feet 

 in one season, and flourishes where nothing else will grow; will last for 25 years 

 or more. In the north the plant dies to the ground in winter, coming up again 

 from the roots in the spring. It has clusters of delightfully fragrant purple 

 flowers in summer and autumn, with large, beautiful, deep green leaves, af- 

 fording a dense shade, making it invaluable for covering porches, arbors, 

 fences, rockeries, dead or old irees. etc. Strong, one-year-old roots, 15e each, 

 3 for 40c., or 12 for $1.30. Large two-year-old plants, 25c. each, 12 for $2.50, 

 postpaid. 



Hardy Scotch or Sweet May Pinks 



These are dwarfer than the Carnation, growing about one foot in height, 



the colors being of the various shades of maroon, carmine and rose, beautifully 



laced and banded on white ground; flowers perfectly double, clove-scented, 



and the plants will stand out of doors year after year, being entirely hardy. 



Price, any variety, 15c. each, 3 for 40c., $1.25 per dozen. 



Her Majesty. New double white. One that will hold its own as long as 

 Pinks are cultivated. 



Abbottsford. Rosy-red, dark center. 



Julette. White, laced crimson. 



Clematis Paniculata 



It attains a height of three to 

 four feet, and is perfectly hardy in 

 al! parts of the country. The 

 flowers are white, borne in im- 

 mense pyramidal panicles nearly 

 a foot in length. It commences 

 flowering in July and continues 

 until November. The plant should 

 be cut back every spring at least 

 one-half of the last seasons' growth, 

 as the flowers are borne on new 

 wood and are much finer when 

 the plants are treated this way. 

 This is the finest flowering Shrub 

 for cemetery planting we know of.

 flowering plants we grow. The plant is of strong, rapid growth, with small, dense, 

 cheerful green foliage, giving it an elegance possessed by no other hardy climber, and 

 even did it not flower at all, it would be one of our most desirable vines. The flowers 

 appear in greatest profusion during August and continue late in the fall; are a creamy- 

 white color, and most deliciously fragrant; of easy culture; will grow anywhere. The 

 accompanying illustration is from a photograph and gives a very good idea of its great 

 beauty when in bloom. Good strong plants, 15c each, 2 for 25e., $1.50 per dozen,

 year old vines, 35c. each, 3 for $1.00, $3.50 per dozen. 



Hardy Large- Flowered Clematis

 around, like a rod, pole or wire, and if the location is somewhat moist and partially 

 shaded, so much the better.
