Beautiful RftPdJ Gibing Vineg. 



Hardy Climbing Vines are among the most desirable ornamental plants ; no others produce more 

 beautiful effects, whether clambering over the veranda or clinging fast to house-walls, they clothe all with 

 a mantle of beauty, and give a pleasant, restful look to the humblest home. They are used profusely in 

 decorating the finest suburban residence?, parks, cemeteries and churches the country over. We note the 

 purpose for which each variety is most suitable, and recommend them to all lovers of beautiful plants. 

 Climbing Vines are also very useful for concealing unsightly objects, buildings, walls, fences, etc.; and old 

 trees and stumps are frequently more beautiful when covered with a luxuriant drapery of clinging vines 

 than they were in their growing condition.

Honeysuckles. 



Honeysuckles. — For real home vines, to be near you, climbing 

 over your windows and doorways, there is nothing prettier than 

 fine, sweet-scented Honeysuckles; the foliage is pretty, neat and 

 clean, the flowers almost continuous, and their fragrance deli- 

 cious. The varieties described below are the very best. We 

 will send the set of 7 for 90 cts.; larger size, $1.20. 



Honeysuckle Hedges.— Some of our friends have conceived the 

 idea of planting Honeysuckles 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, cemeteries, etc. Other climbing vines will 

 answer the same purpose, but the sweet-scented Honeysuckles 

 are both fragrant and beautiful. They should be planted two 

 feet apart. Price, strong plants, by Express, $1.50 per doz.; $12 

 per hundred. 



Evergreen Sweet-Scented. Honeysuckle. — A hardy, vigorous 

 grower; blooms nearly all the season; deliciously fragrant; 

 flowers buff, yellow and white ; very desirable for veranda and 

 trellis work. 15 cts.; larger size, 20 cts.
