A vigorous and rapid-growing climber, bearing singular brownish-colored 

 flowers, resembling in shape a pipe. Its flowers, however, are of little value

 their color from early spring to late fall ; perfectly hardy. Strong plants 

 $1.00 each.

For covering unsightly places, stumps, rockwork, or wherever a showy-

 climber is one of the choicest and most satisfactory climbing flower- 

 ing plants. Of strong, rapid growth, with small, dense, cheerful 

 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

 ful for planting among rock-work, covering graves, or any position 

 where a graceful vine or trailer is desired. (See cut.) Strong 

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



EVONYMUS 



The trailing Evonymus are particularly 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 box-wood as an edging plant. 

 Radicans. Deep green foliage, useful for covering low foundation 



walls, or may be clipped the same as box-wood for an edging plant.

 variegated form of the same habit as the type. 25 cts. each ; $2.50 

 per doz. ; $15.00 per 100. 



Radicans Vegeta. 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 absolutely 

 hardy wall cover this plant is unequalled. 35 cts. each ; $3.50 per 

 doz. ; $25.00 per 100. 



Kewensis. A new variety with very small dark green foliage. 

 Every one who has seen this appreciates its value as a rock plant or
