Wistaria — A beautiful climber of rapid 
growth, often growing fifteen to twenty 
feet in a season, and producing long, 
pendulous clusters of pale blue flowers 
about the size and shape of a bunch of 
grapes; sometimes gives second crop of 
flowers in the fall. 
White Wistaria — A white form of the 
above. 
Wistaria Multljuga — A new Japanese va- 
riety with extremley long loose pani- 
cles of deep purple flowers. 
Clematis 
These vines delight in a sunny situation 
and good rich soil. They are perfectly 
hardy but the top kills back in winter. 
There is nothing better for training on 
pillars, trellises, porches, or for covering 
rocks or old stumps. All strong field- 
grown plants. 
Clematis .Pauiculata — This remarkable 
flower blooms in September. It is one 
of the finest hardy climbers, with hand- 
some foliage, and of very vigorous, rapid 
growth. In late summer it produces 
dense sheets of medium sized, pure white 
flowers of the most pleasing fragrance, 
making a gorgeous sight. This is a new 
Japanese plant, perfectly hardy and 
finely adapted for covering any object. 
Clematis Jaekmanli — This is perhaps the 
best known of the Clematii. The plant 
is a free grower, and an abundant and 
successful bloomer, producing flowers 
until frost. Flowers are large and of 
an intense violet-purple, remarkable for 
their velvety richness. It has no super- 
ior. July to October. 
Clematis Madame Hriouaril Andre (The 
Red Clematis)- — A hybrid of the popular 
Jackmanii. which it much resembles in 
freedom of bloom, vigorous growth and 
shape of flowers, but is a distinct car- 
mine-red in color. 
Clematis Henry! — The best white variety. 
Fine large creamy white flowers: strong 
grower, hardy, perpetual bloomer. 
Clematis Jackmanii. 
Roses 
Our bushes are all strong, field-grown two-year-old plants on their own roots, and 
are not to be compared to the cheap bushes often offered which are budded on short- 
lived foreign stocks. 
Plant them three to four inches deeper than they stood in the nursery and in the 
richest, best soil obtainable Trim off nearly all the top and they will do much 
better than if it was left on. Use powdered sulphur tor mildew, arsenate of lead for 
eating insects and tobacco infusion or strong soap solution for lice. 
Climbing Roses 
Crimson Rambler A well known rose, 
bearing numerous clusters of bright 
crimson flowers; a superb climber, very 
hardy and free flowering. One of the 
best for training on walls, pillars and 
fences. It gives universal satisfaction. 
Dorothy Perkins — One of the best of all 
the climbers. Hardy, a good grower, 
and blooms very freely the first year set. 
The flowers are of good size, produced 
in enormous clusters, very dainty pink, 
fragrant, and last much longer than the 
other ramblers. The foliage is free from 
insects and diseases. 
Exeellsa (Red Dorothy Perkins) — A bright 
crimson form of the Dorothy Perkins 
with the same clean foliage and habits. 
On this account it is pronounced by 
some of the leading rose growers to be 
the successor to Crimson Rambler. 
White Dorothy — Similar in every respect 
to Dorothy Perkins except that it is 
white. One of the best of the new 
climbers. 
Prairie Queen — An old, well known 
climber. Flowers double, bright pink, 
fading to nearly white. 
Tnusendsehon (Thousand Beauties). A 
rapid growing, almost thornless climber 
of exceptional value and attractiveness. 
Its manv flower clusters show every 
shade of rose and crimson, with white 
and yellow variegations.
