CLIMBING VINES AND FLOWERS 



ALLEGHENY VINE OR MOUNTAIN 

 FRINGE 



ADLUMIA CIRRHOSA. A beautiful hardy 

 climber, very desirable for covering trellises, 

 stumps of trees, fences, etc. While an an- 

 nual it reseeds itself from year to year and 

 might well be considered a perennial. Beau- 

 tiful soft foliage quite similar to Maiden- 

 hair Fern. Pretty flesh-colored and pink 

 flowers resembling the Bleeding Heart. 

 These should grow and blossom the first 

 year from seed. Pkt., 15c. 



CYPRESS VINE 



A beautiful climber with delicate feathery 

 dark green foliage, bearing bright velvety 

 starp-shaped flowers in scarlet and white. 

 Very desirable for small ornamental trel- 

 lises or wire supports, and may be grown 

 in window boxes. Mixed. 30 seeds, 8c. 



CANARY BIRD FLOWER 



A very excellent climber for the porch or 

 trellis; the growth is very rapid and the 

 foliage very pretty. Bears curiously shaped 

 canary yellow flowers with similar likeness 

 to a bird with outstretched wings. We rec- 

 ommend this as one of the most desirable 

 vines that can be grown from seed. Annual. 

 Pkt., 20 seeds, 8c; *4 oz., 30c. 



THUMBERGIA — BLACK EYED 



SUSANS 



This fine, slender growing climber from 

 Africa is exceptionally useful for covering 

 wire trellises and also for vases in the 

 garden or house. They are very attractive 

 if grown as a trailer on the ground. The 

 colors are white, yellow and orange, and 

 of each color there is a variety with white 

 eyes and also black eyes — the latter being 

 called "Black-eyed Susans." Blooms con 

 tinuously from the first approach of sum 

 mer until frost. Sow seeds indoors in 

 March and outdoors in May. Pkt., 10c; *4 

 oz., 50c. 



CARDINAL CLIMBER 



We feel that everyone who has a 

 flower garden should have this fa- 

 vorite climber. The vine quickly 

 reaches a height of 30 feet or more. 

 The blossoms are about 1% inches in 

 diameter, in clusters of five to sevtn 

 blooms each, and as the name indi- 

 cates are of a rich cardinal red. It 

 likes sun and good soil, and develops 

 to perfection in a sandy loam soil. 

 If started in the open do not sow 

 until warm weather, as the seed will 

 rot in cold, wet ground. File each 

 seed, or slightly cut through the outer 

 covering, soak in lukewarm water 

 over night and sow in a warm place. 

 Pkt., 10 seeds, 12c; % oz., 50c.

JAPANESE KUDZU VINE 



(Pueraria Thumbergiana) 



This remarkable vine, often called "Jack- 

 in-the-Beanstalk," will grow anywhere in 

 the best or poorest soil. The growth is very 

 rapid and it oftentimes reaches a height 

 of 75 feet in one season. Fragrant purple 

 flowers resembling a purple Wistaria; in- 

 valuable for covering porches, etc. Pkt., 15c; 

 y± oz., 45c; Yz oz., 60c. 



MAURANDIA VINE 



Graceful, delicate annual from Mexico. 

 Fine for baskets and vases in sheltered 

 positions, both the flowers and foliage being 

 very beautiful. Our mixture consists of 

 blue, white and mauve. Start indoors dur- 

 ing March and set out when the weather is 

 quite warm. Thrives in a rich, sandy soil. 

 Pkt., 15c.
