VITIS.

 but not as large as the Virginia creeper, the leaves beini; of greater sub-

 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. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per dozen. 



Humulifolia {Turquoisc-berry Viiw). One of the most desirable very 

 hardy climbers, with glossy dark green leaves which are insect and di- 

 sease proof, always presenting a clean, fresh appearance. In late sum- 

 mer and fall the plant is loaded with pea-like berries, which are very 

 attractive in the various stages of ripening, passing through many shades 

 of blue, finally turning blue-black. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.

 green foliage, and bearing an abundance of attractive black fruit. 25 

 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



Thomsonii. Another pretty species with deep green foliage tinted with 

 pur|)le-bronze and claret on the under side, changing to purplish-red 

 in the autumn, of .slender growth and suitable for a position where a 

 strong-growing vine would be tt)0 vigorous. 50 cts. each.

 liberal manuring grows rapidly, and presents when in bloom a magnifi- 

 cent appearance. 



Multijuga. A Japanese variety, bearing loose 

 panicles frequently 3 feet long of deep pur- 

 ple flowers.

 ducing thousands of pendulous clus-

 sprays of white flowers at the extremities of the 

 branches during the late summer and autumn; a 

 two- or three-year-old established plant when in 

 flower is a pleasing sight. 75 cts. each. 



Pueraria Thuiibers;iaiia. 



(Kudzu Vine.)

 taining, after once being established, a height of 50 

 feet or more in one season. Its foliage is large, 

 and furnishes dense shade; it bears small racemes 

 of rosy-purple, pea-shaped blossoms towards the 

 close of August. 25 els. each; $2.50 per doz. 



Schizophrag^ma 



Hydrangeoides. 



(Climbins Hrdrangea.) 



Although introduced from Japan in 1879, this grand climber is still rare. It is 

 one of the most interesting of our hardy climbers. Its flowers, which are borne in 

 large trusses, are similar to a white Hydrangea, and when in flower, during July and 

 August, makes a handsome display. * One of the best flowering vines for planting 

 against a tree or wall, as it clings naturally to any rough surface. (See cut.)
