<Jtaroij vines for Ljaraen Jsraperies 



AMPELOPSIS 



Veitchii "Boston Ivy" 



Entirely hardy, attaining a height of 20 to 30 feet in two or three years, cling- 

 ing to stones, brick or wood work with the greatest tenacity. It is a great pro- 

 tection to houses, as the leaves, lapping over each other like slates on a roof, 

 effectually prevent rain from penetrating the walls. For covering dead trees, 

 boundary walls, etc. Beautiful autumn foliage.

Quinquefolia — Virginia Creeper or American Ivy 



Where a fast-growing, rampant and extremely hardy vine is desired, plant this 

 variety. Ideal for covering boulders, stumps of trees, etc. 

 Price, 2-year-old plants, 60c each; §6.00 doz. 



BIGNONIA— Trumpet Vine 

 New Yellow Trumpet 



The parent plant of Yellow Trumpet which developed as a sport, was found 

 growing on an old Virginian plantation. It was developed and cultivated for a 

 number of years so that now it is unquestionably the most beautiful and spec- 

 tacular hardy vine in cultivation. It is perfectly, hardy, makes a rapid growth 

 and the beautiful golden chrome yellow flowers which range from 2j-£ to 3 ins. 

 across are produced in succession throughout the Summer from June until Fall 

 against bright clean tropical foliage. 



Yellow Trumpet will present a picturesque display when grown on a pergola 

 or porch, or when used for covering stone walls. It requires no support and at- 

 taches itself to wood, brick or stone surfaces. It prefers a sunny location.'

CELASTRUS, Bitter Sweet 



Loeseneri (Chinese Bittersweet) 



This new importation is a rare species from Central and Western China. The 

 clean leaves are glaucous green and somewhat larger than those of the common 

 Bittersweet. It is the most prolific fruiting kind we know. In autumn yellow and 

 orange-scarlet berries cover the vine all over instead of in occasional small 

 clusters as in the common Bittersweet. It's a sure fruiter.

Scandens (American Bittersweet) 



A rapid gTowing climber with ornamental light green foliage, yellow flowers 

 in June and bright orange, yellow and crimson fruit in the autumn. It is known 

 by the popular name Bitter Sweet.

CHINESE FLEECE OR SILVER LACE VINE 

 Polygonum Auberti 



It is our experience that this hardy vine will thrive better in windswept ex- 

 posed places such as roof gardens, than any other known vine, and it does well in 

 direct sunlight or in the shade. 



The Chinese Fleece will attain a height of about 25 feet during the season, and 

 in late summer it produces panicles of small white flowers that resemble strings 

 of silvered beads. The foliage is bright, shiny green and prolific; the vine is ideal 

 for covering porches, pergolas, trellises, etc.

 hardy, it adapts itself to all situations, thrives everywhere and need only be seen
