SitTfer-Sweei Vine* (Actinldia Polygama) TRUE. 



A new hardy climber, of remarkable beauty, from Japan. The foliage on 

 the ends of the flowering shoots is of a silvery white color, giving the whole 

 vine, from a little distance, the appearance of being covered with large, white 

 flowers blooming among its bright green leaves. The effect is vrey marked 

 and beautiful. The flowers, which appear in this latitude about the middle of 

 June, lasting from two to three weeks, are creamy white in color, with numerous 

 stamens with bright yellow anthers, and resemble the lily of the valley in fra- 

 grance. 



The foliage is almost absolutely free from insect pests, and the whole vine, 

 throughout the entire season, remarkably clean and attractive. The growth 

 is rapid and vigorous. Price. 30c. each ; 2 for 50c. ; 3 for 60c. 



^ignonU Grandiftora* 



Mammoth-Flowered Trumpet-Creeper. 



This is one of the most superb climbing vines in existence. 

 Grows with rapidity and abandon. Perfectly hardy, having 

 withstood a continued temperature of 2b degrees below zero. It 

 will give absolute satisfaction. For covering unsightly places, 

 stumps, dead walls, fences, or for training over a porch or trellis; 

 in fact, wherever a beautiful climbmg vine is needed it is un- 

 equaled. The flowers are trumpet-shaped, of large size, fully 3 

 inches long, and borne profusely in clusters of 25 to 35 each, for 

 several weeks during the growing season. The color is warm, 

 orange-red. The foliage is exceedingly beautiful, rich, dark 

 green, shining as if varnished, like that of the Camellia. Resists 

 all insect attacks. Does equally well in sun or shade, and likes a 

 rich, loamy soil. As a quick, free-blooming and absolutely hardy 

 climbing vine, it will be found hard to beat. 



Strong plants, 30c. each ; 3 for 50c. ; 7 for JSl.OO ; *1.60 per 

 dozen, postpaid. 



Aristolochia Sipho* J> J' J' 



(Dutchman's Pipe Vine.) 



A vigorous and rapid-growing climber, bearing singular, 

 brownish-colored flowers, resembling in shape a pipe. Its flowers, 

 however, are of little value compared to its fine, light green 

 leaves, which are of very large size, and retain their color from 

 early spring to late fall. Perfectly hardy. Strong plants, 30c. 

 each ; a»3.00 per dozen. Extra strong plants, 50c. 



Seed, per pkt., 10c.
