THE DINGEB Ss COJtfARD COMPANY'S 



^Ornamental Climbing Vines #^> 



The following list embraces the most popular and satisfactory Climbing Vines that can easily be_ grown to perfection from seed in One 

 Season. The little care it takes to grow them successfully will be amply repaid, for there are few objects more attractive and pleasing than 

 vines twining and climbing in th :ir own native and graceful beauty. The strong-growing varieties will in a short time cover arbors, buildings 

 and fences, and' the tender sorts be found most desirable for pots, boxes and hanging baskets. The Moon Flower from seeds makes thick, 

 handsome vines in a short time.

The Foliage Moon Flower. 



The Foliage Moon Flower is supposed to have been originally 

 brought from India. It grows from seed sown where the plants are 

 to grow. We consider this variety the most rapid growing, hand- 

 some and useful ornamental climbing vine in existence. Do not plant 

 it for flowers, as it frequently does not bloom north of Washington, 

 D. C, but for porches, arbors, screens, or any place where a dense 

 shade is wanted in a short time, nothing is equal to this variety. 

 The large, handsome, bright-green leaves are thick and leathery, 

 vines wonderfully luxuriant and very tough, standing storms, winds 

 or abuse well. The leaves are borne on long stems, allowing a free 

 circulation of air, while they overlap so perfectly as to keep out 

 all glare and heat of the sun. Too much cannot be said in praise of 

 this handsome ornamental climbing vine. It should be included in 

 every order. Per pkt., 10 cts.; 3 pkts. for 25 cts.
