Hardy Climbing Vines. 



Ready October ijth. 

 AMPELOPSIS VEITCHII. 



(Sometimes called "Boston Ivy" and "Japan Ivy.") 



No picture can portray the beauty of this grand climbing plant. 

 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 oronpe, so 

 dazzling as to be seen a great distance. (Plants now ready.) 1st size, 

 pot-grown, 2 to 3 feet, 50c. each, $4.60 per doz.; 2d size, pot-grown, 

 1 to 2 feet, 25c. each, §3.25 per doz. 



Aristolocliia Sipho. (Dutchman's Pipe.) Large, showy, light 

 green foliage; flowers long and pipe-shaped, hence the name. 

 50c. each, $4.50 per doz. 



Clematis Paniculata. One of the most beautiful of our hardy- 

 flowering vines. The flowers are pure white. These clusters 

 are borne on long slender stems. The fragrance is delicious, 

 resembling the English hawthorn blossoms, and is so subtile and 

 penetrating that a large plant in bloom will fill the air with 

 fragrance. It begins to bloom late in August or early in 

 September, at a time when most other hardy climbers are out of 

 bloom, an inestimable advantage. It is a strong, rapid grower, 

 quickly reaching a height of from 15 to 20 feet, and spreading out 

 when trained to wires or strings. It is perfectly hardy in all 

 sections of the country, and we can unhesitatingly say that it is, 

 in our opinion, the most valuable among hardy climbing vines. 

 Price, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz.

 wherever a hardy climber is desired. Large, strong plants, 75c.
