beautiful hardy climbing vine for 
covering the walls of houses, 
churches, schools, mills, ete. The 
vine throws out fine rootlets all along 
the stems, which enable it to cling 
fast to the tallest walls, and it will 
soon cover them with a sheet of hand-

the illustration. As Autumn ap- 
proaches, the leaves gradually turn to 
brilliant crimson and golden tints,

season. ‘The vine covers the walls so 
completely it aids materially to pre- 
serve the walls and keep the buildings 
dry and warm in winter and coolin sum- 
mer. It is very extensively planted in 
our most beautiful suburban places, 
where it gives a finish of grace and 
beauty that nothing else cando. The

gual places all over the United States. It is equally desirable for all classes of building, and can not be re- 
ommended too highly. Set 12 to18inchesapart. Good strong plants, 15c., 2 for 25e.; $1.50
