CHOICE HARDY CLIMBERS

We are ready to help you in this situation, and with this in view, we have prepared the following climbers in pots so that 

 they can be planted any time this summer, thus gaining a season's growth and 

 be ready to add their charm to your garden next summer. 



ACTINIDIA ARGUTA (The Silver Vine). 



A desirable, very hardy Japanese climber of strong vigorous growth, with 

 dark green, shining foliage and greenish white flowers, with purple centres, 

 which are followed by clusters of edible fruit with fig-like flavor. An excellent 

 plant for covering arbors, trellises, etc, where a rapid and dense growth is de- 

 sired. Strong plants, 60 cts. each; $6.00 per doz. 



ACTINIDIA CHIISENSIS. 



A valuable introduction from central China, with large orbicular foliage of 

 dark green, which, when young, is thickly covered with bright red hairs, giving 

 it a beautiful velvety, or plush-like appearance. In its native habitat it bears 

 clusters of showy yellow flowers, succeeded by edible fruits the size of a walnut, 

 of gooseberry flavor. A remarkably handsome, rapid growing climber for cov- 

 ering arbors, pergolas, etc. Strong plants, 75 cts. each. 



AKEBIA QUINATA (AkeWa 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 desiriable for positions where a dense 

 shade is not required. Strong plants, 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 

 per 100.

 old type. In spring and summer the leaves are a bright, fresh, 

 apple-green color, changing in the autumn to various brilliant 

 tones of orange, crimson and scarlet. Strong plants, 50 cts. 

 each; $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100.
