Virginia Creeper on a Helena Home. 
VIRGINIA CREEPER. 
Our sale of this grand climber is more than equal to the 
total sales of all the rest. Its peculiar hardiness and 
adaptability in climbing stone or brick places it in the 
forefront of all our vines. For beauty of foliage 
nothing can surpass the ornamental shining green leaves 
of the Virginia Creeper. Helena homes are our greatest 
advertisement for this vine, and the hardy growth they 
make in the above city proves their adaptability to Mon- 
tana. In the Autumn the whole vine is covered with 
beautifully colored foliage.
