Polygonum 



POI.YGONUM AUBERTI (silver L«ce Vine) 



One of the most desirable flowering climbers, the plant is of strong, vigorous 

 growth, attaining a height of 25 feet or more, producing through the summer and fall 

 great foamy sprays of white flowers, and a well established plant during its long flow- 

 ering period is a mass of bloom. Not only does it thrive in the Eastern and Middle 

 States, but we have seen it in equally good condition in Oregon, Colorado and Cali- 

 fornia, adapting itself to the most varied climatic conditions. Strong plants, $1.00 each. 



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 tovrards the close 

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



VITIS 



Henryana. A recent introduction from China, with foliage similar to but not as 

 large as the Virginia creeper, the leaves being of greater substance, and prettily 

 variegated. The ground color is deep velvety-green, the midril) and principal 

 veins of silvery white. The variegation is most pronounced in the autumn, when 

 the green ground color changes to red. 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 



Humulifolia. (^Turquoise-berry Vine.) One of the most desirable very hardy 

 climbers, with glossy dark-green leaves, which are insect and disease proof, always 

 presenting a cleac, 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. 35 cts. each; $3.50 

 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. 

 Sinensis. The favorite variety, producing thousands of pendulous clusters 



of delicate violet-blue blossoms, richly perfumed. 

 — Alba. Of similar habit to Sinensis, with pure white flowers. 

 Price, either of the above, strong plants, $1.00 each. 



HEDGE PLANTS 



BerberiS TllUnbergi (Japan Barberry) 



Where a dwarf decidious hedge is wanted, nothing equals this beautiful 

 Barberry. Requires but little pruning to keep in shape. The leaves are 

 small, light green, and towards fall assume rich, brilliant colors, the fruit 

 or berries becoming scarlet. Absolutely hardy in all parts of the country.

 per doz.; $30.00 per 100. 



California. Privet (Ugustrum ovaiifoUum) 



Of all hedge plants this is the most popular, and more of it is planted 

 than all others combined. It is of free growth, and succeeds under the 

 most adverse conditions, such as under dense shade of trees, where other 

 plants would not exist. Plant 1-year-old plants 8 inches apart, the 2-year-
