New and Rare Hardy Climbing Plants. 
Crematis Montana GrANDIFLORA. 
NEW JAPANESE IVY 
AMPELOPSIS LOWII. 
Since the introduction of the popular Ampe- 
lopsis Veitchi or Boston Ivy, forty years ago, 
no other plant of a similar self-clinging habit 
has been introduced, and we believe that this 
new variety, which possesses all of the good 
points of Ampelopsis Veitchi, will be a wel- 
come addition. 
Like Ampelopsis Veitchi, it clings to the 
smoothest surface without support. It is of 
equally rapid growth and perfectly hardy, but 
the foliage is much smaller and deeply cut, 
giving a grace and elegance not possessed by 
the old sort. In spring and summer the leaves 
are of a bright, fresh apple-green color, 
changing in the autumn to brilliant crimson and 
scarlet. 
Strong plants, $1.00 each; $10.00 per dozen. 
New Hardy Everlasting Pea 
“WHITE PEARL.” 
(Lathyrus latifolius grandiflorus albus.) 
A magnificent, new pure white variety, with individ- 
ual flowers fully double the size of the ordinary Hardy 
Everlasting Pea. These are produced in really gigan- 
tic trusses, and are of the purest white and in bloom 
throughout the entire summer and early fall. A valu- 
able acquisition that is certain to become popular. 
Strong roots, 25 cts. each. 
POLYGONUM 
BALDSCHUANICUM. 
This beautiful hardy, woody, twining plant was first 
offered by us in 1900, but is still comparatively rare. 
We consider it one of the most interesting and showy 
hardy climbers. Its white flowers are borne in great 
feathery sprays at the extremities of the branches 
throughout the summer and__ fall, Strong plants, 
50 cts. each. 
VITIS HENRYANA. 
A new variety recently introduced from 
China, with foliage in general outline 
similar to, but not as large as that of our 
native Virginia creeper, the leaves being 
much heavier and of greater substance 
and prettily variegated. ‘The ground 
color is a deep velvety-green, the midrib 
and principal veins of silvery white. 
This variegation is most pronounced in 
the autumn, when the green ground color 
changes to red, the white marking not 
changing color. 75 cts. each; $7.50 per 
dozen. 
AMPELOPsIS Low. 
New Early Spring-flowering 
CLEMATIS MONTANA 
GRANDIFLORA. 
Of stronger growth than any other Clematis, not subject to the 
attacks of insects, and succeeds under the most adverse conditions. 
It is perfectly hardy, having withstood without the least damage in 
a most unfavorable position in our trial grounds. Its flowers, which 
resemble the Anemone or Windflower, are snow-white, 1} to 2 
inches in diameter, and frequently begin to expand as early as the 
last week in April, continuing well through May, and are produced 
in such masses as to completely hide the plant. The best of the 
early spring-flowering climbers. (See illustration.) Extra strong 
2-year-old plants, 50 cts, each; $5.00 per dozen. 
CLEMATIS MONTANA RUBENS. 
The latest addition to our list of climbers, identical in every 
way with the wwhite-flowered variety described above, except in color, 
which is of a pleasing shade of soft rosy-red, a most desirable and 
novel color; requires protection, We offer a limited stock of strong 
plants. 75 cts. each. 
Latuyrvus Latirortus ‘“§ Waite Pearv.’ 
Tender Climbers, such as Cobaea, Passion Vine, Moonflowers, etc., are offered under the head of Garden and Greenhouse Plants.
