HARDY VINES. 



Vines are an essential feature in beautifving a country home, whether it be for the simple cottage 

 or the mansion. Thev should be largely employed, and there are innumerable positions where noth- 

 ing else can take their place. I offer here but a small selection, comprising the choicest and best for 

 general cultivation, all of which are hardy and vigorous, will thrive everywhere, and grow in strength 

 and beauty from year to year. 



Xote'— Mail plants are handsome, well formed, and well rooted plants, as large as can be sent by 

 mail, one vear or older— not the little, puny things so often sent out by mail. Express plants are two 

 and three vears old. and are too large to be sent by mail. Rates per dozeyi a7id per hundred will be 

 given upon applicatioti.

 and forming a perfect coat of deep glossy green 

 foliage which turns to a brilliant crimson in 

 autumn. The leaves are ivy shaped and lap

 effect. It is never 

 more attractive than

Hall's Japan Honeysuckle \Louicera 

 Halleana) . Among all the Honeysuckles this is, 

 perhaps, the most delightful, and best for general 

 cultivation. The flowers are very abundant, cov- 

 ering an entire vine with bloom, from May until 

 November; pure white, changing to yellow, delic- 

 iously fragrant with a sweet, jasmine-like perfume.

 an abundance of dark rich foliage which remain 

 on the vine all winter, rendering it evergreen.
