BEAUTIFUL HARDY CLIMBING VINES. 
Flower-lovers and gardeners know how indispensable are Vines and Climbers 
for beautifying one’s place, especially near the house. Plant Clematis, Climbing 
Roses and Honeysuckles 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 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 three pages are the best Climbers for arbors, 
arches, trellises, porches, etc. Remember how pretty an arbor can be. American 
Ivy or even Grape-vines (page 53) make a good covering, too.

Flowers small, rich 
creamy white, borne in 
handsome clusters, com- 
pletely covering the vine, 
and the flowers are fol- 
lowed by silvery, feathery 
seed-pods which keep the 
vine attractive until mid- 
winter; exceedingly fra- 
grant. The sweetest of all 
Clematis, and one of the 
hardiest and easiest to 
grow. Good, strong plants, 
15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. ; 
2-yr. plants, 30 cts. each, 
3 for 75 cts., $3 per doz.;

HARDY ENGLISH or LARGE-FLOWERED CLEMATIS 
The flowers are large, often measuring 4 to 6 inches across, and are borne 
in great profusion during July and August. If the location is somewhat 
moist, partially shaded and on the north side of the house, so much the 
better. They are entirely hardy. 
Cultural Directions 
Clematis should have rich, deep soil, and it is most important that the 
newly set plants have firm supports on which to climb. They should be tied to 
these supports as soon as they have made even a few inches of growth. If 
allowed to be blown back and forth by the wind, the outer bark gets split, 
as a result of which the plant is likely to die. 
The reason many Clematises fail is on account of being planted close to 
a house where the soil is usually poor and full of brickbats and mortar; in- 
stead of which each plant should have, at least, a full barrow-load of the 
finest, choicest soil. 
With good soil and proper care these plants can be easily grown. 
Note.—Please read and follow carefully the cultural directions for Clem- 
atis, as we cannot and do not guarantee the English Clematis to grow. 
JACKMANII. Bears great wreaths and clusters of splendid purple flowers, 
5 to 6 inches in diameter. This vcriety should be trimmed back in No- 
vember, as tts blossoms come on the new shoots.

VILLE DE LYON. Flowers large, of a beautiful wine-red.
