Hardy Vines and Shrubs 



POPULAR HARDY CLIMBING VINES 



AMPELOPSIS VEITCHH (Boston Ivy) 



One of the finest climbers we have for covering walls, as it clings 

 rlrmly to the smoothest surface. In 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. 

 25 cts. each. Large size, pot-grown plants, 40 cts. each, $4.00 per dozen. 



CLEMATIS 



Large plants, 50 cts. each, $5.00 per dozen, by express, at purchaser's 

 expense. Set of six for $2.25. 



Duchess of Edinburgh. One of the best double whites, of 

 vigorous habit; free bloomer and deliciously fragrant. 



Henryi. A vigorous grower and a free bloomer, producing its large 

 pure white flowers constantly during summer and early autumn. 



Jackmanni. The flowers are large, intense rich velvety violet- 

 purple and are produced in such masses as to form a cloud of bloom. 



Madame Baron-Veillard. Of recent introduction and quite like 

 its parent, the popular Jackmanni, in habit and make-up, except that its 

 flowers are a lively satiny lavender-pink; entirely distinct from any 

 other variety and charming in effect. 



Madame Edonard Andre. Of the Jackmanni type and the 

 nearest approach to a bright red that has yet appeared. The flowers are 

 very large, usually six-petaled, of a distinct, pleasing shade of carmine, 

 and are produced in bewildering profusion. 



Paniculata. Flowers pure white, hawthorn-scented, and borne in 

 great masses of panicles or clusters, so profuse as to fairly cover the 

 plant with a sheet of fleecy white. 



HONEYSUCKLES 



35 cts. each, $3.50 per dozen. 



Hall's Japan. A strong-growing, almost evergreen sort with pure 

 white flowers changing to yellow. Very fragrant and covered with 

 flowers from July to November. 



Chinese Evergreen. A favorite old-fashioned Honeysuckle, prized 

 for its profusion of bloom and delicate perfume ; has dense, almost 

 evergreen foliage. 



CHINESE WISTARIA 



One of the most beautiful of all Wistarias ; a vigorous, strong-growing 

 vine, producing in early summer a great profusion of large clusters of 

 lovely, rich, violet-blue flowers, deliciously sweet and exceedingly 

 handsome. Large plants, 50 cts. each, $5.00 per dozen, by express, at 

 purchaser's expense.
