HENRTADREER -PHILADEIiPhlAMM/ HARDY CLIMBING PLANTS 



VITIS. 



Henryana. A recent introduction from China, with foliage similar to 

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

 stance, and prettily variegated. The ground color is a deep velvety- 

 green, the midrib and principal veins of silvery white. The variegation 

 is most pronounced in the autumn, when the green ground color changes 

 to red. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



liumulifolia ( Turquoise-btrry Vine). One of the most desirable very 

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

 disease proof, always presenting a clean, fresh appearance. In late 

 summer and fall the plant is loaded with 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. 



Megalophylla. A remarkable Chinese species, with very large dark 

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

 each; $2.50 per doz. 



Thompsoni. Another pretty species with deep green foliage tinted with 

 purple-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 too vigorous. 50 cts. each. 



WISTARIAS. 



One of the best hardy climbers. When given a sunny situation and 

 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. 



Sinensis. The favorite variety, pro- 

 ducing thousands of pendulous clus- 

 ters of delicate violet-blue blossoms, 

 richly perfumed. 



— Alba. Of similar habit to Si- 

 nensis, with pure white flowers. 

 Price, any of the above, slrong 

 plants, 50 cts. each. 



PUERAKIA (KUDZU VlNE) 



POLYGONUM AUBERTI. 



A splendid climber, producing great foamy 

 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. 50 cts. each. 



POLYGONUM 



MULTIFLORUM. 



A rapid-growing climber, attaining a height of 

 15 feet or more in a season, with bright green 

 heart-shaped leaves and masses of foamv white

 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 racemis of rosy-purple, pea-shaped blossoms towards the close of August. 25 

 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



SCHIZOPHRAGMA HYDRANGEOIDES. 



(Climbing Hydrangea.) 



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

 one of the most interesting of our hirdy 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.) Strong 

 plants, $1.00 each.
