CLIMBING AND TRAILING PLANTS 
Some nice, rapid-growing, climbing plants planted round our dwelling houses add considerably to the beauty thereof, 
be it the mansion of the opulent or the dwelling of the artisan. What dear memories cluster around the names 
"Honeysuckle" and "Sweet Briar." Who does not remember the sweet fragrance of these old, old favorites, friends of 
long ago? 
Clematis Faniculata. Note the wealth of bloom 
AKEBIA QUINATA. A very distinct and pretty climber from 
Japan. Foliage clover-like in appearance, semi-evergreen; 
flowers chocolate-colored, appearing in early spring. Very 
sweet. 50c each. 
AMPELOPSIS ENGELMANNI. Shorter jointed than quin- 
quefolia. Strong grower. 2-year-old plants, 50c each, 
$1.00 per 10. 
AMPELOPSIS MURALLIS. Resembles the quinquefolia, but is 
more slender in growth and shorter jointed, with smaller foliage. 
2-year-old plants, 50c each; $4.00 per 10. 
AMPELOPSIS QUINQUEFOLIA (Virginia Creeper). The leaves 
are palmate, handsome and luxuriant, assuming in autumn a 
gorgeous bronzy hue. Strong, 50c each; $4.00 per 10. 
AMPELOPSIS VEITCHII (Boston or Japan Ivy). This variety 
clings closely without any assistance to a stone wall or brick 
flue or a wooden surface. It is widely planted in California, 
where it succeeds admirably, and is much admired. 35c and 
50c each. 
AUSTRALIAN PEA VINE. Pink flowers; fast growing. 30c each. 
CLEMATIS 
The Clematis are elegant, slender-branched climbers 
of rapid growth, with fine foliage and beautiful, large 
flowers of various colors; they are perfectly hardy, and 
cannot be excelled as climbing plants in any situation; 
they are very particular as to soil, that of a loamy texture 
being the most suitable; thorough drainage is indispensable 
to good, healthy growth; large, deep holes should be dug, 
and if the soil is heavy it must be replaced; in planting, 
the roots should all be spread out, and plants pruned 
down to one-half their height; they should never be 
allowed to get very dry; an annual manuring should be 
given, and tops pruned off in December. 75c each, 
except where noted. 
DUCHESS OP EDINBURGH. Pine large double white. 
JACKMANH. Deep purple violet. 
HENSYII. Large, single white. 
MADAM E. ANDRE. Large, single red. 
X.A-WSONIA1TA, Rosy purple. 
LANOrUINOSA CANDIDA. Very large; cerise gray. 
MONTANA. In this variety we have the ideal Clematis for this 
State. The flowers are produced in spring in wonderful pro- 
fusion (as will be seen from the picture which we have the 
pleasure in presenting) ; they are about the size of a dollar and 
are pure white. The vine is a rapid, rampant grower. Strong 
plants, 60c each. 
PANICULATA. A Japanese climber, recently introduced into this 
country of unusual and attractive merits; rapid grower; foliage 
of a glossy rich green; the Sowers arc of medium size, pure white, 
and of most delicious fragrance. Strong plants, 50c each. 
BOUGAINVILLE A SPECTABALIS. These climbers are becoming 
greater favorites every year. They have peculiarly shaped 
flowers, somewhat resembling the leaves in shape, the color 
being of a rosy lake, and produced at the end of the branches 
in wonderful profusion. They are indispensable for the green- 
house and do remarkably well in many protected situations out 
of doors. Strong plants, 40c and 60c each.
