ISAAC HICKS & SON 
CLEMATIS 
C. Jackmani. A slender vine, having 
large deep violet-purple flowers. 
An abundant bloomer. 
C. paniculata. This vine has rapidly 
gained popularity by its vigorous 
healthy growth, and its clouds of 
white flowers in August. The 
shrubbery at that time has but 
few flowers, and an occasional 
Clematis clambering over the top 
will look as beautiful as the 
Spire a Van Houttei in its season. 
It will transform an ugly fence 
into a beautiful hedge. 
DUTCHMAN'S PIPE. 
^^ristolochia Sipho 
A strong, showy vine with leaves 
ID inches wide. The small green 
blossoms are in the shape of a pipe. 
ILUONYMUS 
E. radicans. A valuable climber that 
may be considered a substitute for 
English ivy in this country, having 
the advantage over it of keeping 
the foliage uninjured by our bright 
winter sunshine. It grows on 
walls and trees, sending out hori- 
zontal branches in the manner of 
an old English Ivy. It makes a 
good evergreen ground cover, and is useful in 
covering stones and stumps in rock gardens. 
The glossy dark leaves are about an inch long 
by a half inch wide. See, also, under Broad- 
leaved Evergreens. It has escaped and runs 
wild in our woods. 
Japanese Honeysuckle is one of the best and cheapest bank covers. 
HONLYSUCKLi:. Lonicera 
This large family contains a variety of useful 
vines. They are all hardy and vigorous in their 
growth and not at all particular as to soil or 
moisture. 
Japanese Ivy, Ampelopsis Veiichii, is about the quickest clinging vine. From early spring till late autumn it is beautiful and 
perfectly healthy. We have it at low rates. Plant a hundred on tree trunks, fences and walls.
