 vine, that clings to stone walls and tree- 

 trunks. It is hardy, but our bright winter

 tially shaded situation suits it best. 



Japan (Boston Ivy, Ampelopsis Veitchii).

 vine, according to its training. The 

 bright yellow flowers usually open early 

 in spring, but sometimes thej' ai-e seen 

 in November, or any of the winter months, 

 if grown in a warm, protected situation.

SILK VINE (Periploca). A graceful, quick- 

 growing vine, with slender, shining 

 leaves.

 flowers of orange-scarlet, in late summer.

VIRG-INIA Creeper (Woodbine, Ampe- 

 lopsis quinquefoHa). A strong native 

 vine, with rich and beautiful autumn tints. 



JAPAN IVY (Boston Ivy ; Ampelopsis 

 VeitcWi). 



The best and most popular vine for covering 

 walls and painted surfaces if spnded or weather- 

 worn. Autumn colors, orange, crimson and 

 purple. 



HALL'S HONEYSUCKLE. 



A strong grower and constant bloomer. We can supply this in un- 

 limited quantity at low rates. It is a cheaper cover than smoothing 

 and soaring grass seed on a rough bank. A good plant to hold steep 

 embankments from washing. 



WISTARIA. A vigorous vine, that blooms profusely in 

 early summer. Flowers fragrant, in pendulous clusters. 



The Wistaria can be trained in tree form, when it will 

 grow 20 feet high and 6 inches in diameter, making one of 

 the most showy flowering trees. Four or five plants, with 

 a slight support and careful training, will form a most 

 attractive summer-house. 

 Chinese. Blue flowers. The best variety. 

 White. A white variety of the last. 



Magnifica. This variety blooms later and more sparingly 



than the others ; flowers larger, and of a pale lilac color. 

 Multijuga. Flower clusters 2 to 3 feet long. Rare and 

 very fine. 



The Tree Movers of our recent invention are a great 

 improvement over any other methods, and are entirely success- 

 ful. We have large trees of many varieties and of all sizes. 

 ^ For instance, in the nursery we have quantities of trees 20 to 

 m 35 feet high, that have been recently transplanted, root-pruned 

 and trained, which, being of uniform size and form, can be used 

 for shading entrance drives. The price of such trees ranges from 

 S5 to S25, and they are often more economical than small trees, as 

 one large one takes the place of several small ones. _ 



Specimen Evergreens of many species are also in stock, and 

 can be successfully transplanted.
