HARDY CLIMBING PLANTS 



>HMPEliPlffl% 



Clematis Paniculata 



(Japanese Virgin's Bo-wer) 



This handsome hardy climber is one of the choicest and most satisfactory 

 climbing flowering plants. Of strong rapid growth with small, dense, rich 

 green foliage, and pure white, deliciously fragrant flowers, which appear in 

 the greatest profusion in August and September, followed by silvery feathery 

 seed pods, which make an attractive appearance until mid-winter. The plants 

 succeed in almost any position. Not only is it adapted to run up all kinds of 

 supports, but is just as useful for planting among rock-work, sloping banks, 

 covering graves, or, in fact, any position where a graceful vine or trailer is 

 desired. Strong plants, 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 



Euonymus 



The trailing Euonymus are particxilarlj' desirable for their dense evergreen 

 foliage and extreme hardiness, some varieties on account of this taking the 

 place of the English Ivy for wall covering, others that of the boxwood as an 

 edging plant. 



Radicaus. Deep green foliage, useful for covering low foundation walls, or 

 may be clipped the same as boxwood for an edging plant. 



Radicans Acuta. A strong growing variety with long narrow dark green 

 leaves veined with grey, excellent as a ground cover or for wall covering. 



Radicans Acuta Atropurpurea. Same as above but with the leaves 

 tinted purplish red particularly on the underside. 



Radicans Variegata. A beautiful small-leaved green and white varie- 

 gated form of the same habit as the type. 



Radicans Vegeta (Evergreen Bittersweet). A strong growing variety, with 

 larger leaves than the type, and producing bright orange-red berries, which 

 remain on the plant the greater part of the winter. As an evergreen abso- 

 lutely hardy waU cover this plant is unequalled. An enthusiastic horti- 

 cultural writer predicts that it will become as popular for this purpose here 

 as the Ivy is in England. 



Kewensis. A variety with very small dark green foliage. Everyone who 

 has seen this appreciates its value as a rock plant or ground cover. It grows 

 close to the ground, and is one of the most valuable plants for under trees 

 where grass will not grow. 



Clematis Paniculata 



Price. Any of the above varieties, 

 per 100. 



30 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $18.00 



Celastrus Scandens 



(Bitter Sweet, or Wax Work) 



One of our native climbing plants, of rapid growth, succeeding 

 in almost any situation, sun or shade, with attractive light green 

 foliage and yellow flowers during June, which are followed in the 

 autumn with bright orange fruit, which usually remain on the plant 

 throughout the winter. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



Large -flowering Clematis 



No other climbing plant equals in attractiveness the beautiful 

 large-flowering Clematis. Their requirements are somewhat 

 different from most other plants, and proper conditions must be 

 given to secure satisfactory results. They need rich, deep soil, 

 perfect drainage, abundance of water and most important of all, 

 they should be planted with the crowns three inches beneath the 

 surface of the soil. 



Anderson Henryi. Creamy white, large. 

 Duchess of Edinburgh. Large, shapely double flowering pure 



white. 

 Jackmani. The popular rich purple variety. 

 Mme. Edouard Andre. Very free flowering, bright carmine. 

 Price. Any of the above, 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 



Clematis Montana 



(Anemone Clematis) 



A strong, vigorous, perfectly hardy type that succeeds under the 

 most adverse conditions. The Anemone or Windflower-like flowers 

 are from IJ 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 very freely, the best of the early spring 

 flowering climbers of which there are but few. 

 Rubens. Rose-tinted white. 

 Undulata. White flushed with mauve, undulated or wavy 



petals. 



Either of the above, $1.00 each.
