HARDY CLIMBING PLANTS 



jjwm| 



Wisteria Sinensis 



Wisterias 



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. 

 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. 



Double-flowering 

 Japanese Wisteria 



This double-flowering form comes 

 into bloom about two weeks later 

 than the Chinese type (Wisteria 

 sinensis) usually grown. The double 

 flowers are produced in much longer 

 clusters and are of a deep purple 

 color. A most desirable, distinct 

 and scarce variety. $1.50 each. 



Pueraria Thunbergiana 



(Kudzu Vine) 



The most rapid growing vine in cultivation, attain- 

 ing, 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 towards the close of 

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



HEDGE PLANTS 



Berberis Thunbergi {Japan Barberry). Where a dwarf decidu- 

 ous 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. Plant 12 to 15 inches apart. Extra 

 strong 3-year old plants, 18 to 24 inches high, 40 cts. each; 

 $3.50 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. 



Pueraria, Kudzu Vine 



Berberis Thunbergi Atropurpurea (New Red-leaved 

 Japanese Barberry). This new and brilliant variety is described 

 and offered on page 208.

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

 most adverse conditions, such as under dense shade of trees, etc.
