 shining foliage and while flowers with purple centres, which are toll - , , 

 by clusters of edible fruit. An excellent plant for covering arbors, trellisi - 

 etc., where a rapid and dense growth is desired. Strong plants, 50 cts. each 

 $5.00 per doz. 



Akebia Quinata vAkebia vine.) 



One of the most graceful of our hardy climbers, with deep green, small 

 foliage, and producing in early spring numberless bunches of violet-brown 

 flowers, which have a pleasant cinnamon odor; most desirable for positions 

 where dense shade is not required. Strong plants, 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; 

 $15.00 per ICO. 



Ampelopsis. 



EnKelmannl. A greaty improved variety of the Virginia Creeper, with dense 

 foliage of a glossy light-green in summer, changing to a brilliant crimson in 

 the autumn. On a rough stone surface it will cling without support in the 

 same way as the Japanese Ivy. 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz., $20.00 per 100. 



Lowll. Since the introduction of the popular Ampelopsis Veitchi or Boston 

 Ivy, over forty years ago, no other plant of a similar, self-clinging habit has 

 been introduced, and we believe that this new variety, which possesses all 

 of the good points of Ampelopsis Veitchi, will be a welcome addition. Like 

 Ampelopsis Veitchi, it clings to the smoothest surface without support. It 

 is of equally rapid growth and perfectly hardy, but the foliage is much 

 smaller and deeply cut, giving a grace and elegance not possessed by the 

 old sort. In spring and summer the leaves are of a bright, fresh apple-green 

 color, changing in the autumn to brilliant crimson and scarlet. Good young 

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



Veitchi (Bo.<r(on It'll, or Japan Jfi'i/). The most popular and desirable climb- 

 ing plant for covering brick, stone, or wooden walls, trees, etc.; when it be- 

 comes established at the root it is of very rapid growth, and clincs to the 

 smothest surface with the tenacity of ivy; the foliage is of a rich olive green 

 duing the summer, changing to various shades of bright crimson and scarkt 

 in the fall. Extra strong plants, 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $18.00 per 100. 



AKEBIA QUINATA 



CLEMATIS PANICULATA 



Ampelopsis Tricolor (Vltis heterophylla varlesrata) . 



A beautiful and desirable climber, with fine dark green foliage, wonderfully 

 variegated with white and pink; during the late summer and fall the plant is 

 liberally covered with attractive small berries of a peculiar lustrous metallic 

 peacock blue color; highly useful for trailing over rocks or for a low trellis. 

 25 cts. each; $2.50 ner doz. 



Aristolochia Sipho (Dutchman's Pipe vine). 



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

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

 compared to its fine light-green leaves, which are of very large size and retain 

 their color from early spring to late fall; perfectly hardy. Strong plants, 50 

 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



Bignonia (Trumpet Vine). 



For covering unsightly places, stumps, rock-work or wherever a showy- 

 flowering vine is desired, the Bignonias will be found very useful. 1 he flpw- 

 ers are large, attractive and borne profusely when the plants attain a fair size. 

 Qrandlflora. Large flowers of orange-red. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



Clematis. 



Panlculata (Japanese Virgin's Bower). This handsome hardy climber is one 

 of the choicest and most satisfactory climbing flowering 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, followed by silvery, feathery seed-pods, which makes an attractive 

 appearance until mid-winter. The plant succeeds in almost any position; 

 not only is it well adapted to run up all kinds of supports, but is just as use- 

 ful for planting among rock work, sloping banks, covering graves, or, m 

 fact, any position where a graceful vine or trailer is desired. Strong plants, 

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

 variety, attaining a height of 20 feet, and producing a profusion of white 

 flowers in August. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



Euonymus. 



Radlcans Varlegata (Variegated Creeping Euonymiisi . A splendid evergreen 

 creeping plant with pretty, small foliage, beautifully variegated deep green 

 and white ; a rather slow-growing but useful plant for covering low stone 

 walls or stumps, or as an edging plant, for which purpose it can be kept 

 closely clipped in the same manner as box edging. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per 

 doz.; $10.00 per 100. 



Hop Vines (Humuiusi.
