HARDY VINES AND CREEPERS 



Hardy vines are indispensable for the embellishment of a newly built home, whether 

 it be a simple cottage of a mansion. Indeed many houses, not recently constructed, would 

 be rendered far more attractive by the audition of choice varieties properly trained about 

 them. Vine-covered summer housss and arbors are always delightful features of the lawn 

 and should be introduced into all grounds except those of limited extent — and even in 

 these it is seldom that a shaded bower or vine clad pergola may not be constructed to ad- 

 vantage. They should be liberally employed and there are innumerable positions which 

 can be made beautiful by them, where nothing else can take their place. 



Unless otherwise noted all are strong plants; most of them two year s old or more. 

 // desired, smaller plants of any variety offered will be selected and sent by mail, at prices quoted. 



Rates by the hundred and thousand will be given on application.
