HARDY CLIMBING VINES 



Orders for Climbing Vines Should Reach me by 

 APRIL 15th at the Latest. 



Ampelopsis Veitchl. 



{Boston Ivy.) 

 A beautiful climbing plant. This is one of the finest climbers 

 we have for covering walls, as it clings firmly to the smoothest 

 surface, covering it smoothly with overlapping foliage, giving it 

 the appearance of being shingled with green leaves. The color is a 

 fresh deep green in summer, changing to the brightest shade of 

 crimson ahd yellow in autumn. It is quite hardy, and becomes 

 more popular every year. Each 10 cts.; 6 for 25 cts.; doz. for 

 SI. 09 postpaid. 



Honeysuckles. 



For real home vines, to be near you. climbing over your windows 

 and doorways, there is nothing prettier than sweet-scented Honey- 

 suckles; the foliage is pretty, neat and clean, the flowers are al- 

 most continuous, and their fragrance delicious. 



Honeysuckle Hedges. 



Some of our friends have conceived the idea of planting Honey- 

 suckles along the division fences, and it is wonderful what pretty 

 hedges they make. Iron or wire fences are the best, but almost 

 any kind is soon covered with a mantle of living green, making a 

 very pretty and cheap border for lawns, drives, parks, walks, 

 cemeteries, etc. Other climbing vines will answer the same pur- 

 pose, but the sweet-scented Honeysuckles are both fragrant and 

 beautiful. They should be planted two feet apart. 



Hairs Japan. 



A strong growing almost evergreen sort with pure white flowers 

 changing to yellow. Very fragrant and covered with flowers from 

 July to November. 



Monthly Fragrant. 



Red and yellow; very fragrant. Blooms all summer; leaves 

 tinged with reddish color. 



Scarlet Trumpet. 



Bright red trumpet-shaped flowers ; bloom very freely the entire 

 season, vigorous and rapid growing. Price of each variety of 

 Honeysuckles 10c; 6 for 50c; 12 for $1.00, by mail postpaid. 



BEST LARGE-FLOWERED CLEMATIS 



There iz no more ornamental class of plants than Clematis and 

 the rich show of bloom produced by the best varieties is far too 

 magnificent to be fairly portrayed by mere words. The flowers are 

 of large size measuring four to six and sometimes eight inches in 

 diameter. The colors run from intense velvety purple through 

 blue, lavender and white, and a new crimson variety (Madame 

 Edouard Andre) has lately been added to the list. Each 12 cts.; 

 three for 35 cts.; the seven (/ of each) for 80 cts. postpaid. 



Duchess of Edinburgh. — One of the best double whites, of vig- 

 orous habit, very free of bloom and deliciously fragrant, 



Henryi.—A vigorous grower and free bloomer, producing its 

 large pure white flowers constantly during summer and early au- 

 tumn. The best large-flowered variety producing pure white 

 flowers. 



Jackmanni. — The flowers are large, intense rich velvety violet- 

 purple and are produced in such masses as to form a cloud of 

 bloom. Well known and very popular. 



Madame Baron Veillard.— Of recent introduction and quite like 

 its parent, the popular Jackmanni, in habit and make-up, except 

 that its flowers are a lively, satiny lavender pink; entirely dis- 

 tinct from any other variety and charming in effect. 



Madame Edouard Andre.— Also of the Jackmanni type and is the 

 nearest approach to a bright red that has yet appeared. The 

 flowers are very large, usually six-petaled, of a distinct pleasing 

 shade of carmine, and are produced in a bewildering profusion. 



Ramona.— Lavender blue; flowers very large, often nine inches 

 across. The most beautiful variety of its color yet known. 



Paniculata.— One of the most valuable of all hardy flowering 

 vines, of exceedingly rapid growth, soon reaching a height of fif- 

 teen or twenty feet and spreading out in all directions. Small, 

 pure white flowers, borne in great masses of panicles or clusters 

 on long stems, so profuse as to fairly cover the plant with a sheet 

 of fleecy white. Its blooming period is in August and September, 

 when most other vines have ceased, and it is then a sight to behold. 

 Not its least charm is its delightful Magnolia like fragrance, 

 which fills the air everywhere, even from a single vine, for a long 

 distance. It is as hardy as an oak.
