HARDY VINES AND CREEPERS 



Hai'dy vines are indispensable for the enabellisiiment of a newly built home, whether It be a simj^le 



cottage or a mansion. Indeed many houses, not recently constructed, would be rendered far more attrac- 

 tive by the addition of choice varieties, properly trained about them. Vine-covered summer houses and ar- 

 bors 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 con 

 structed to advantage. 



"Unless otherwise noted all are strong plants; most of them two years old or more. If desired smaller 

 plants of any variety offered will be selected and sent by mail, at prices quoted for each and dozens. 

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