 ing, 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 dose of 

 August. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



Wisterias 



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. 

 They should be liberally fed when 

 first planted to give them a vigorous 

 start.

 producing thousands of pendulous 

 clusters of delicate violet-blue 

 blossoms, richly perfumed.

 with pure white flowers.

 color. A most desirable, distinct 

 and scarce variety. $1.50 each.
