PUERARIA (Kudzu Vine) 
Pueraria Thunbergiana. 
Kudzu Vine. 
The most rapid growing vine in cultivation, attaining, 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 close of August. 
25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 
Schizophragma Hydrangeoides. 
Climbing Hydrangea. 
Although introduced from Japan in 1879, this grand climber is stillrare. It is one of the 
most interesting of our hardy 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 
web as it clings naturally to any rough surface. A limited stock of strong plants, $1.00 
each. 
Vitis Henryana. 
A recent introduction from China, with foliage in general outline similar to, but not as 
large as that of our native Virginia creeper, the leaves being much heavier and of greater 
substance and prettily variegated. The ground color is a deep velvety-green, the midrib 
and principal veins of silvery white. This variegation is most pronounced in the autumn, 
when the green ground color changes to red, the white marking not changing color. 
75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 
Vitis Humulifolia. 
A rapid growing hardy climber with dark green hop-vine like leaves which are abso- 
lutely insect and disease proof. Always presenting a clean, fresh appearance, in late 
summer and fall the plant is loaded with pea-like berries, which are very attractive in 
the various stages of ripening, passing through many shades of blue and purple, finally 
turning blue-black. 25 cts. each. 
Chinese Wistaria. 
One of the best of all hardy climbers. When given a sunny situation and liberal 
manuring it grows rapidly, and presents when in bloom a magnificent appearance. 
Sinensis. The favorite variety, producing thousands of pendulous clusters of delicate 
violet-blue blossoms, richly perfumed. Strong plants, 50 cts. each. 
peer Of similar habit to Sinensis, with pure white flowers. Strong plants, 50 cts.

Heckrothi. Deep red flowers with yellow throat; always in bloom.

Price: 30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz. 
Hardy Jasmines. 
The varieties here offered are favorite climbers for sheltered 
positions, hardy south of Philadelphia. With protection, will stand 
out as far north as New York. 
Nudiflorum. Fragrant yellow flowers. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 
Primulinum. The old-time favorite Jasminum Nudiflorum is 
especially admired on account of its early flowering, its flowers, 
in a sheltered position or against a warm wall, appearing as early 
as the middle of March. Inthis new variety, an introduction from 
China, we have almost a counterpart, excepting that its flowers 
are fully double the size. These appear simultaneously with the 
leaves. Strong plants, 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz. 
Officinale. Pure white, fragrant. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 
Lathyrus. 
(Hardy Everlasting Pea.)

plants, attractive both in flower and foliage, growing to a height of 
8 to 10 feet, and producing clusters of large flowers the entire sum- 
mer; fine for cutting, lasting well. 
Latifolius. Deep rosy red. 
—Albus. Pure white. 
15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz. 
Polygonum Auberti. 
Asplendid climber. After it becomes established it is very vigor- 
ous, and a three-year or older plant, with its mass of feathery 
white flowers, is a pleasing sight during late summer and autumn. 
Strong plants, 75 cts. each. 
Polygonum Multiflorum. 
A very desirable climbing plant, which seems peculiarly adapted 
to our climatic conditions. It is of strong, rapid, but not coarse 
growth, frequently attaining a height of 15 to 20 feet in one season. 
Its bright green heart-shaped leaves are never bothered by insects, 
and during September and October it produces masses of foamy- 
white flowers in large trusses from the axil of each leaf. 25 cts.
