Beautiful Hardy Climbing Vines 



Flower lovers and gardeners know how 

 indispensable are vines and climbers for beau- 

 tifying one's place, especially near the house. 

 Plant Clematis, Climbing Roses and Honey- 

 suckles about the front porches with perhaps 

 a vine or two of the Chinese Wistaria to 

 climb as high as the roof. Stone or brick walls 

 are always prettier when ivy clad. Then 

 going around to the rear of the house if you 

 have a trellis to cover, or want a screen for 

 certain buildings, get more Honeysuckles, and 

 if you need something to cover a large space 

 quickly, try the Kudzu vine; the Trumpet 

 Creeper also is good. On the next four pages 

 are the best climbers for arbors, arches, trel- 

 lises, porches, etc. Remember how pretty an 

 arbor can be. American Ivy or even Grape 

 Vines make a good covering. 



HARDY ENGLISH or 

 LARGE FLOWERED 



CLEMATIS 



Note — The Large Flowered or Hardy English Clematis are con- 

 sidered the most beautiful of all our flowering vines. The 

 flowers are large, often measuring four to six inches across and are 

 borne in great wreaths and clusters during July and August. The 

 colors range from rich royal purple to pearly white. The vines are 

 of slender, wiry growth and require some support that they can 

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



moist and 

 partially 



shaded, so much the better; the north side of the house or porch is 

 often the best place for them; hardy, but a mulch of leaves or litter 

 around the roots, at least the first season, will be an advantage. 



CLEMATIS JACKMANII— A rare and beautiful hardy climbing 

 vine of slender twining growth and bearing great wreaths and 

 clusters of splendid purple flowers; 5 to 6 inches in diameter. 



C. RAMONA — A strong hardy grower and very free and almost per- 

 petual bloomer; flowers very large and borne in great profusion, 

 deep sky blue and very handsome. 



C. MAD. EDWARD ANDRE (New Red)— A splendid new sort and 

 the nearest approach to a bright red Clematis yet introduced; the 

 flowers are 4 and 5 inches across and a deep rose pink, or red 

 color; very beautiful. 



C. HENRYII — Elegant large flowers, rich creamy white, enormous 

 bloomer, very fine. (See cut.) 



C. MADAME BARON VEILLARD— A very handsome variety, beau- 

 tiful lavender pink, makes a fine contrast with the other colors, 

 large flowers, a good bloomer.
