low hedges. Produces an abundance of 
low flowers in May and is all aglow 
with scarlet leaves and berries In the 
fall. 
Climbing Vines 
Ampelopsis BnKelmauni (Engelman's Ivy) 
— Not poisonous. Similar to our native 
Virginia Creeper, but is more dense, 
rapid growing and clings readily to any 
smooth surface. A very desirable vine 
for all kinds of walls, tree trunks, etc.; 
much hardier thaji Boston Ivy. 
Trumpet Flower — A splendid vine; vigor- 
ous, hardy, and a very rapid grower; 
well adapted for covering unsightly ob- 
jects. The flowers are large, being fully 
four or five inches long and in clusters. 
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. 
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 Pnnlcnlata — 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 Jackmaiiil — This is perhaps the 
best known of the Clematil. 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 
Clematis Jacliniaiiii 
their velvety richness. It has no super- 
ior. July to October. 
Clematis Madame Kdouard Andre (The 
Red Clematis) — A hybrid of the popular 
Jackmanii, whicli it much resembles in 
freedom of blom, 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. 
Roses 
Our bushes are all strong, fleld-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 for mildew, arsenate of lead for 
eating insects and tobacco infusion or strong soap solution for lice.
