>HlMBEIiPMlk\ 



I^YCIITH BARBARUM (Matrimony Vine) 



A very ornamental shrubby climber, which has appropriately been called "the 

 general utility vine," of strong growth, bearing small purplish flowers in summer, 

 followed by a prodigious crop of scarlet berries, which remain on the vine until late 

 in winter. 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz. 



POLYGONUM AUBERTI (SUver Lace Vin.) 



One of the most desirable flowering climbers, the plant is of strong, vigorous 

 growth, attaining a lieight of 25 feet or more, producing through the summer and 

 fall great foamy sprays of white flowers, and a well established plant during its long 



flowering period is a mass of bloom. 

 Not only does it thrive in the Eastern 

 and Middle States, but we have seen it 

 in equally good condition in Oregon, 

 Colorado and California, adapting itself 

 to the most varied climatic conditions. 

 Strong plants, $1.00 each. 



PUERARIA 



THUNBERGIANA 



(Kudzu Vine) 



The most rapid growing vine in culti- 

 vation, attaining, after once being estab- 

 lished, 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 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.

 this catalogue devoted to Roses. 



VITIS 



Henryana. A recent introduction from 

 China, with foliage similar to but not 

 as large as the Virginia creeper, the 

 leaves being of greater substance, and prettily variegated. The ground 

 color is deep velvety-green, the midrib and principal veins of silvery 

 white. The variegation is most pronunced in the autumn, when the 

 green ground color changes to red. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.

 very hardy climbers, with glossy dark-greKT leaves, which are insect

 summer and fall the plant is loaded with berries, which are very attrac- 

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

 blue, finally turning blue-black. 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz. 



^WISTARIAS 



One of the best hardy climbers, producing their great trusses of flowers 

 in abundance during the month of May with some scattering bloom in 

 August and September. While they succeed in any kind of soil they 

 sho. Id be liberally fed when first planted to give them a vigorous start. 

 Sinensis. The favorite variety, producing thousands of pendulous 



clusters of delicate violet-blue blossoms, richly perfumed. 

 — Alba. Of similar habit to Sinensis, with pure white flowers. 

 Price, either of the above strong plants, $1.00 each.
