but not as large as the Virginia creeper, the leaves being of greater sub- 
stance, and prettily variegated. The ground color isa deep velvety-

tored, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.

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. 
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 should 
be liberally fed when first planted to 
give them a vigorous start. 
Multijuga. A Japanese variety, bear- 
ing loose panicles frequently 3 feet 
long of deep purple flowers. 
Sinensis. The favorite variety, pro- 
ducing thousands of pendulous clus- 
ters of delicate violet-blue blossoms, 
richly perfumed. 
— Alba. Of similar habit to Sinensis, 
with pure white flowers. 
Price, any of the above, strong plants, 
50 cts. each.

Auberti. A splendid climber, producing great 
foamy sprays of white flowers at the ex- 
tremities 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. 
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 foamy white flowers from the axils of each leaf during September

PoLyGonuM 
SCHIZOPHRAGMA HYDRANGEOIDES. 
(Climbing Hydrangea.) 
A most desirable plant for covering the trunks of trees, rough stone walls or simi- 
lar rough surfaces where it can support itself naturally. While of slow growth when 
first planted it makes rapid progress after it becomes thoroughly established at the 
root, and while it prefers a partially shaded position it will do well in full sun. It 
blooms in July and August, in large terminal cymes of white hydrangea-like flowers, 
and a large plant with hundreds of blooms is very attractive. Extra strong plants, 
$1.00 each.
