FOR HARDY CLIMBING ROSES, SEE PAGE 136. CLEMATIS, SEE PAGE 156. 
MONG the most important decorative and flowering plants none are more 
necessary than Hurdy Vines. The collection we offer contains, we believe, 
the best climbing plants for permanent effects known at present time. 
Particular attention is called to the Climbing Hydrangea, Hardy Yellow Jasmine, 
“Boston ”’ or ‘“‘Japan” Ivy (Ampelopsis Veitchii), and Honeysuckles. 
AMPELOPSIS_ VEITCHII. 
(Sometimes called “ Boston Ivy” and “ Japan Ivy.’’) 
Entirely hardy in the most exposed places, attaining a height of 20 to 30 feet 
in two or three years, clinging to stones, brick or wood work with the greatest 
tenacity. Itis a great protection to houses, as the leaves lapping over each 
other like slates on a roof effectually prevents rain from penetrating the walls. 
For covering dead trees, gate posts, boundary walls, etc., it has no equal. In 
the summer the foliage is a rich shade of green, but in the fall it assumes the 
most gorgeous tints of scarlet, crimson and orange, so dazzling as to be seen at 
a great distance. Price: Ist size, extra strong pot-grown, 30c. each, $3.00 per 
doz.; 2d size, pot-grown, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz. 
HARDY YELLOW JASMINE. 
(Jusminum nudiflorum.) 
The pretty and fragrant flowers render this a general favorite, and it has an 
additional claim to popularity in the fact that it is in flower very early in the 
spring ; when other climbing plants are yet in winter attire this is gay with its 
bright yellow, fragrant blossoms, giving a welcome tinge of color to the sombre 
surroundings of the garden. Price, 30c. each, 4 for $1.00, 12 for $3.00, 
HONEYSUCKLES. 
Lonicera Belgica (Monthly Fragrant or Dutch Honeysuckle). Flowers bright red 
with yellow and buff markings at the ends of the tubes. 50c. each, 5 for $2.00. 
Lonicera Flexuosa (Japan Sweet-scented Honeysuckle). Large flowers; pale 
yellow and white. Foliage numerous and dark-colored. 
Lonicera Halleana (Hall’s Japan Honeysuckle). Pure white flowers, changing 
to yellow. Very free blooming and fragrant. 
Lonicera Brachypoda (Evergreen Sweet-scented Honeysuckle). 
yellow and white. One of the most vigorous and hardy. 
- Lonicera Brachypoda Aurea. (Golden-leaved Honeysuckle). Flowers yellow. 
- Price, except where noted, large plants, 25c. each, 5 for $1.00, $12.00 per 100. 
- Young plants, 10c. each, $1.00 per doz. 
Flowers buff, 
Notre.—When trained to a wire frame, Honeysuckles make a good hedge, and are largely used 
for that purpose. 
THE CLIMBING HYDRANGEA. 
(Schizophragma Hydrangeoides.) 
A beautiful hardy climber introduced from Japan some years ago but which has 
been almost lost to commercial floriculture. It is a handsome, rapid-growing 
plant with almost all the characteristics of the Hydrangea, having similar white 
flowers as the shrubby species. It clings with great tenacity to any tree or 
building by which it may be planted and attains a height of fifty feet. It 
blooms about July and remains a long time in flower. The illustration was 
made from a photograph ofa plant growing on the beautiful Ames Estate, North 
Easton, Mass., and fairly represents it. (See cut.) Price, 1st size plants, $1.50 
each; 2d size, $1.00 each; 3d size, 50c. each, $5.00 per doz.
