 useful climber where a rapid 

 and vigorous growth of vine is desired. To cover or to 

 screen an unsightly building, there is perhaps no annual 

 climber better adapted for the purpose. The vine has 

 abundant foliage and is thickly covered with sprays of 

 small white, fragrant flowers, followed by numerous prickly 

 seed pods.

 plants are produced from year to year by self sown seed.

Wild Cucumber 



Wistaria Chinensis 



Zinnia 



One of the most beautiful 

 and rapid growing of the 

 hardy perennial climbers. When well established in good 

 soil it will often gi"ow fifteen to twenty feet during the 

 season and frequently blooms both in spring and fall. 

 The flowers are very fragx-ant, single, pale blue, pea- 

 shaped and are borne in long, drooping grape-like clusters, 

 often over a foot in length. Foliage light green, pinnate. 



The seed should be sown in mellow loam early in the 

 spring, or in greenhouse or hotbed in winter and when 

 plants are one foot high transplanted into permanent 

 situations Pkt. 20c.

Jr ^ ^^^ -mtiL m 0^ ^^®- "^^^ ^'^^^ known bush-like 



^F ■ Tv.Tv ■ fS plants of Zinnias produce a pro- 

 flh^ JL A Ma mM,^^ fusion of large double imbricated 

 flowers, borne on stifl: stems. They 

 are much used for bedding and are suitable for borders 

 and for cutting. 



There is much satisfaction in a bed of Zinnias with their 

 twisted and recurved petalled flowers in many bright 

 colors, and when nearly every other flower has been killed 

 by frost this plant is still in full bloom. Few flowers are 

 more easily grown or bloom more abundantly throughout 

 the season, and the wide range of color is not less 

 remarkable than their unusual depth and richness. 



Sow the seed early in spring, in open ground in good, 

 rich soil, preferably in rows one and one-half feet apart and 

 covering about one-fourth inch deep. W^hen the young 

 plants are one to two inches high thin to six inches apart. 

 Start under glass for earlier blooming. Half hardy annual; 

 tall growing, usually about one and one-half to two feet 

 high.
