AKEBIA 



QUINATA. — A very hardy Japanese vine of 

 lengthy habit. The foliage is of a peculiar clover- 

 like form, deep green and remains upon the vine 

 throughout the winter. In summer clusters of 

 violet-plum flowers are freely produced which 

 have a pleasant, spicy fragrance. Especially de- 

 sirable as a covering where shade that is not dense is 

 desired. Each, 20c.; doz., $2.00; 100, $10.00. 



AMPELOPSIS 



CLEMATIS 



AMPELOPSIS VEITCHI UPON HOUSE 



VEITCHI (Boston or Japanese Ivy).— The 



most popular and best of climbers for covering walls, 

 etc., clinging firmly to brick, stone or other material, 

 and forming a perfect coat of deep, glossy-green 

 foliage, which turns to crimson and gold in autumn. 

 The leaves are ivy-shaped and lap closely over 

 each other, presenting a dense mass of foliage. Of 

 rapid growth. Although of frail habit, it is entirely 

 hardy. (See cut.) Two years, strong, each, 15c.; 

 doz., $1.50; 100, $10.00. Extra strong, each, 25c.; 

 doz., $2.50; 100, $15.00. 



VIRGINICA (Virginia Creeper or American 

 Ivy). — Of rapid, vigorous growth, covering trellises, 

 arbors, etc., quickly with a mass of bright green 

 foliage, which turns to a brilliant crimson in au- 

 tumn. Especially valuable for covering summer or 

 garden houses or anywhere that a dense, heavy vine 

 growth is desired. Strong, 2 years, each, 20c.; 

 doz., $2.00; 100. $12.00. 



ARISTOLOCHIA 



SIPHO (Dutchman's Pipe). — A strong growing 

 species with large, plate-like overlapping leaves 

 which retain a fresh, light green color through 

 summer and autumn. The pipe-shaped flowers of 

 yellowish-brown appear in July and are concealed 

 by the heavy leafage. Very useful in covering 

 stonework, trellises, etc. Particularly pleasing in 

 effect when introduced upon rustic bridges, summer 

 houses or fences. Strong plants, each, 35c.; doz., 

 $3.50. 



CELASTRUS 



ORBICULATUS (Japanese Bitter Sweet).— 



Similar to our American Bitter Sweet, Staff Vine 

 or Wax-work, but the berries, which are the same 

 color are even more numerous and the vine of 

 more refined habit. Each, 20c.; doz., $2.00; 100, 

 $12.00. 



PANICULATA (Japanese Virgin's Bower).— 



The finest of all hardy vines for airy grace and 

 beauty. It quickly grows to a height of 15 to 20 

 feet and spreads out in all directions. In August 

 and September, when most other vines have ceased 

 to bloom, it is completely covered with a sheet of 

 fleecy white, made up of numerous pure white, 

 star-like flowers on long stems, and so fragrant 

 that the air is perfumed to a great distance. Its 

 masses of delightful bloom remain until frost, and 

 are succeeded by tufted seed pods. (See cut.) 

 Two year roots, each, 15c.; doz., $1.50; 100, $10.00. 

 Extra heavy roots, each, 20c.; doz., $2.00; 100, 

 $15.00. 



LARGE FLOWERED CLEMATIS 



HENRY!. — The best variety, producing large 

 white flowers. Its large clear, ivory white flowers 

 appear in great numbers throughout the summer. 



JACKMANNI. — The most popular of the large 

 flowered varieties. Its flowers are rich, velvety 

 violet-plum and are produced in such profusion as 

 to form a veritable cloud of bloom. 



MME. BARON-VEILLARD.— A strong grower 

 and an exceedingly free bloomer. It blooms later 

 than the others of its class and continues until 

 frost. Flowers large and rosy-lilac. 



MME. EDOUARD ANDRE.— Also of the Jack- 

 manni type. The flowers are usually six petaled, 

 of a pleasing shade of rosy-carmine and are pro- 

 duced in bewildering profusion. 



Each, 30c.; doz., $3.00. One each of the four 

 varieties for $1.00. 



EUONYMUS 



RADICANS. — A small, unique and valuable 

 climber and trailer, with small myrtle-like glossy, 

 evergreen foliage, clinging to walls after the manner 

 of Ivy. Its creeping habit renders it valuable for 

 rock work. 



RADICANS VARIEGATA.— Same as the pre- 

 ceding except that the leaves are variegated and 

 maringed with clear creamy white. 



Two years, each, 15c.; doz., $1.50; 100, $8.00. 



Three years, each, 20c.; doz., $2.00; 100, $12.00.
