HARDY VINES. 



No country or suburban home is complete without hardy ornamental vines. The porch and veranda, 

 arbors, trellis and walls, all afford opportunities for producing beautiful effects. I offer here a selection 

 of vines, all entirely hardy, which will thrive everywhere and increase in beauty and vigor from year to 

 year. 



Note. — Mail plants are well formed, and well rooted plants, as large as can be sent by mail, one 

 year or older — not the little, puny things so often sent out by mail. Express plants are two and three 

 years old, and are too large to be sent by mail. Prices per dozen and per hundred will be given upon 

 application. 



CLEMATIS. 



The large-flowered varieties of Clematis, as il- 

 lustrated by those named below, are so beautiful 

 in form and color, the bloom so profuse and the 

 vines so refined and graceful in habit, so hardy 

 and easy of culture, that they should be seen in 

 every rural and village home. Give them deep, 

 rich soil, partial shade, with plenty of moisture at 

 the roots, and a wealth of bloom will be the re- 

 ward. There are many varieties, but those here 

 named are the best and most valuable of them all. 

 The plants are all grown upon their own roots 

 (not grafted), and wDl be sent by mail, if desired, 

 at the prices quoted. 



Jackmanni. The flowers are large, intense rich 

 velvety violet-purple, and are produced in such 

 masses as to form a cloud of bloom. Well known 

 and very popular. Each 30c. ; 3 for 75c. ; dozen, 

 $2.50. 



I1enri|i. A vigorous grower and a 

 free bloomer, producing its large, pure 

 white flowers constantly during sum- 

 mer and early autumn. The best 

 large-flowered variety producing pure 

 white flowers. Each, 30c. ; 3 for 75c. ; 

 dozen, $2,50. 



Paniculata. One must see this 

 splendid species to appreciate the 

 magniflcence of its bloom and its great 

 value. The vine is an exceedingly 

 rapid grower, soon reaching a height 

 of fifteen or twenty feet and spread- 

 ing out in all directions. Small, 

 pure white flowers, borne in great 

 masses of panicles or clusters on long 

 stems, are so profuse as to fairly 

 cover the plant with a sheet of fleecy 

 white. Its blooming period is in Au- 

 gust and September, when most other vines have 

 ceased, and it is then a sight to behold. ,Not its 

 least charm is its delightful Magnolia-like fra- 

 grance, which fills the air everywhere, even from 

 a single vine, for a long distance. It is as hardy 

 as an oak. Strong, 2 years old, by mail, each, 

 20c. ; 3 for 50c. Extra heavy, by express, each, 

 25c. ; 3 for 60c. 



Special. — One each of the three varieties 

 for 75c. 



BITTERSWEET. 



{Celastrus scandens.) 



A handsome, well- 

 known and popular 

 climber of twining habit 

 and rapid, strong 

 growth, with handsome 

 glossy foliage and beau- 

 tiful, orange - crimson 

 fruit in clusters with 

 pale orange capsules, 

 which remain through- 

 out the winter, produc- 

 ing a most delightful 

 and ornamental appear- 

 ance. Splendid for twin- 

 ing about old trees, etc., 

 producing a most pic- 

 turesque effect. Mail, 

 12c., 3 for 30c. Express 



3 for 50c.
