Among the most important decorative and flowering plants none are more 
necessary than Hardy Vines. The collection we offer below contains, we 
believe, the best climbing plants for permanent effects known at pres- 
ent time. Particular attention is called to the Hardy Yellow Jasmine 
and ‘‘ Boston” or ‘‘Japan” Ivy (Ampelopsis Veitchii), as being perhaps 
the grandest vines for flowering and foliage effects it is possible to 
obtain. All the plants offered are of a good size. 
Ampelopsis Quinquefolia. The old Virginia Creeper. This is known 
in many sections as ‘‘American Woodbine.” Invaluable where a coarse, 
rapid climber is desired. Large plants, 30c. each, 4 for $1.00. 
Akebia Quinata. A scarce Japanese twining plant, with rich, dark 
green foliage and curious dark brown flowers of the most powerful and 
delicious odor. 30c. each, 4 for $1.00. 
Apios Tuberosa. A valuable hardy tuberous-rooted climber, closely

clothe fences and the walls of dwellings there is, perhaps, 
none more attractive than the Hardy Yellow Jasmine 
(Jasminum nudiflorum). Its pretty and fragrant flowers render it 
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, scattered profusely over the leafless 
branches, giving a welcome tinge of color to the sombre surround- 
ings of the garden. 
It is perfectly hardy, and requires but little cultural care. 
Planted against a wall or trellis in well-drained soil, it usually 
makes satisfactory progress, and will be admired when its period 
of beauty arrives. But it is amenable to other methods of culture. 
It can be grown in pots like other Jasmines, or it may be grown 
in bush form by pruning with that object in view. The flowers are 
very valuable for cutting, a few sprays presenting a cheerful ap- 
pearance inaroom. (See cut.) 50c. each, 5 for $2.00, 12 for $4.50.

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. It is a great protec- 
tion 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. 
Prices: ist size, extra strong pot-grown, 2 to 3 feet, 50c. each, 
$4.50 per doz.; 2d size, pot-grown, 114 to 2 ft., 30c. each, $3.00 per

Aristolochia Sipho (Dutchman’s Pipe). Large, showy, 
light green foliage; flowers long and pipe-shaped, hence the 
name. A very rapid-growing vine, and where a dense screen 
is desired nothing can be better. The plants we offer are 
fine and strong. 50c. each, 5 for $2.00. 
Bignonia Radicans (Trumpet Creeper). A most rapid 
grower; flowers in large bunches, of a rich orange scarlet.

to a post and cut back, it will assume a weeping form and is 
highly ornamental in that way. 25c. each, 5 for $1.00.

hardy climbing plant with bright purple flowers, succeeded 
by brilliant scarlet berries, every branch being loaded with 
them. The berries ripen in early autumn and remain on the 
vine late into the winter. It will grow and thrive in any 
situation, either shade or bright sunlight, and will take root 
in any soil; in fact, nature has given it all the essentials for 
wide popularity. Strong 2-year-old plants, 30c. each, $3.00 
per doz. Young plants, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz.
