VINES 



LONIGER Heckrottii. A vine growing about 6 feet high with yellow and red flowers. 

 In a mild Winter it will bloom way into December. 



2 ft. high $1.00 each, $9.00 per 10 



L. japonica Halliana. Hall's Japanese Honeysuckle. Dr. Hall, a missionary in 

 Japan introduced this, Hall's Magnolia and Hall's Crab Apple. It is perfectly at 

 home here. It is one of the quickest and cheapest ground covers, especially for steep 

 banks which it covers economically and thoroughly. Fragrant, white and yellow 

 flowers as welcome to the humming birds in Summer as the little black seeds are id 

 the kinglets in Winter. Children know how to abstract the honey, too. Honeysuckle 

 is evergreen through the most of Winter. To hold a bank plant them 3 to 4 ft. apart 

 and they will quickly cover it because they take root at every joint. Come and see 

 them in the nursery and you will realize what a perfect cover it makes. 



2- 4 ft. long J 75c. each, $6.00 per 10, $50.00 per 100 



TECOMA radicaris. Trumpet Vine. A vigorous vine native in the South. Will climb 

 to the tops of the tallest trees and hang out long, scarlet trumpets in mid-Summer 

 when flowers are welcome. The quantity we have available make it possible for you 

 to plant a hundred or more on the edge of the woods, to make a tangle as part of the 

 shrubbery, to hold sand dunes or bank, or to cover old fences. 



3- 6 ft. high ,.. ,.75c. each, $5.00 per 10, $25.00 per 100 



VITIS Coignetiae. A rare Japanese vine of great decorative value for its Autumn 

 color. It created much interest in England where Autumn color is rare. 

 5-7 ft. high 75c. each, $6.00 per 10, $50.00 per 100 



WISTARIA sinensis. Chinese Wis- 

 taria. Thinking of vines for porches 

 and tennis backstops is making very 

 limited use of one of Nature's most 

 lavish decorative materials. Wistaria 

 is always dark green and well fed be- 

 cause like its relative the Clover and 

 Locust, it gets nitrogen from the air 

 through root nodules. You can plant 

 100 or 500 of these young plants and 

 find they quickly catch up with the 

 larger ones. They can be planted in 

 the woods along with the American 

 species which blooms later. They will 

 hold a sand bank, cover the fence, 

 but will show off best of all climbing 

 a great Locust or Oak. You can 

 make a feast of color in your woods 

 and garden in May with the Wistaria; 

 June, with climbing Roses; July, with 

 the Trumpet Creeper and Septem- 

 ber, with the Clematis paniculata; 

 in October with Virginia Creeper; in 

 Winter deep green with the Bitter- 

 sweet and Euonymus. 



1 ft. high, 25c. each, $2.00 per 10. 



$15.00 per 100. 

 3-6 ft. high, 75c. each, $6.00 per 10, 



$50.00 per 100.
