A strong, vigorous, perfectly hardy type that succeeds 

 under the most adverse conditions. The Anemone or 

 Windflower-like flowers are from Ij to 2 inches in 

 diameter and frequently begin to expand as early as the 

 last week in April continuing well through May and are 

 produced verj' freely, the best of the early spring flower- 

 ing climbers of which there are but few. We offer three 

 varieties: 



Perfecta. Pure white. 

 Rubens. Rose-tinted white. 

 Undulata. White flushed with mauve, undulated or 



wavy petals. 



Any of the above, $1.00 each. 



Evonymus 



The trailing Evonymus are particularly desirable for 

 their dense evergreen foliage and extreme hardiness, 

 some varieties on account of this taking the place of the 

 English Ivy for wall covering, others that of the boxwood 

 as an edging plant. 

 Radicans. Deep green foliage, useful for covering low 



foundation walls. 

 Radicans Acuta. A strong growing variety with long 



narrow dark green leaves veined with grey, excellent as 



a ground cover.

and white variegated form. 

 Radicans Vegeta {Evergreen Bittersweet). A strong growing 



variety, with larger leaves than the type. As an evergreen 



absolutely hardy wall cover this plant is unequalled.

Everyone who has seen this appreciates its value as a rock plant 



or ground cover.
