THE DINGER & CONARD COMPANY'S 







Wistarias. 



M^M 



POR training over buildings, piazzas, verandas or 

 trellises, the Wistaria is of superior excellence, 

 and the decorative features which their long,, 

 graceful, pendent blossoms afford, particularly- 

 pleasing and effective. The foliage is exceedingly rich 

 and attractive and not too dense — half concealing and 

 half revealing the object which it covers, which feature 

 admits of a fine artistic effect of detail. The different 

 varieties are entirely hardy, rapid growers and" easy to 

 cultivate. They may be trained to a shrub form of habit 

 by attention to pruning by cutting away the new growth 

 for several seasons. The illustration given will convey 

 an idea of the possibilities in the way of decoration which 

 these superb plants offer and their general appearance. 

 Our stock is of the best and consists of strong, healthy 

 plants of the finest varieties in cultivation.
