HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— HARDY CLIMBERS 



BiGNONIA, OR TkVMPET ViNE 



BIGBIONIA (Trumpet Vine) 



For covering unsightly places, stumps, rockwork, or wherever 

 a showy-flowering vine is desired, the Bignonias will be found 

 very useful. The flowers are large, attractive, and borne pro- 

 fusely when the plants attain a fair size. 

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



doz. 

 Radicans. Dark red, orange throat, free blooming and very hardy. 30 



cts. each; $3.00 per doz. 



CEI.ASTRUS SCANDENS 



(Bitter Sweet, or Wax Work) 



One of our native climbing plants, of rapid growth, succeeding in almost 

 any situation, sun or shade, with attractive light green foliage and yellow 

 flowers during June, which are followed in the autumn with bright orange 

 fruit, which usually remain on the plant throughout the winter. 30 cts. 

 each; $3.0C per doz. 



HAROY CI.EMATIS 



Integrifoiia Durandi. One of the most valuable of the large flowered 

 blue Clematis, a vigorous, healthy grower not subject to disease, growing 

 about 6 feet high and producing without intermission from June until 

 late in fall showy indigo blue flowers of great substance, 8 to 3^ inches 

 in diameter. 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 



Paniculata {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 and September, followed by silvery, feathery seed 

 pods, which make an attractive appearance until mid- winter. The plant 

 succeeds in almost any position. Not only is it adapted to run up all 

 kinds of supports, but is just as useful for planting among rock-work, 

 sloping banks, covering graves, or, in fact, any position where a grace- 

 ful vine or trailer is desired. (See cut.) Strong 2year-old plants, 25 

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



EVOXYMUS 



The trailing Evonymus are particularly desirable for their dense 



evergreen foliage and extreme hardiness. 



Radicans Vegeta. A strong-growing variety with larger leaves 

 than the type and producing bright orange-red berries, which re- 

 main on the plant the greater part of the winter. As an ever- 

 green absolutely hardy wall cover this plant is unequalled. An 

 enthusiastic horticultural writer predicts that it will become as 

 popular for this purpose here as the Ivy is in England. 35 cts. 

 each; $3.50 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. 



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

 Everyone who has seen this appreciates its value as a rock plant 

 or ground cover. It grows close to the ground and is one of the 

 most valual)le plants for under trees where grass will not grow. 

 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $18.00 per 100.

Chinese Evergreen ( Woodhine). Very fragrant, red, yellow

 duced in graceful panicles in early summer. Strong plants, 75 

 cts. each.
