labor b03towe<l upon them. They require a deep soil 
richly fertilized. Most varieties ere beneflte<l by a 
slight protection during the first two or tliree winters.

atis. Hardy in all parts of the United States. 
Tlio blossoms arc pure white, and borne in great 
bunches or clusters, covering the plant so completely 
as to almost hide from view the rich, glossy green 
foliage. It usually begins to bloom o.'irly in August, 
and produces its great panicles of bloom in the great- 
est profusion for a numlier of weeks. The blossoms 
are very sweet scented, and a small bunch of 
the cut flowers will perfume a whole room, filling 
the air with their delicious fraffrance. The vino 
is of the most hardy, healthy Imbit, and frequently 
grows to a heiglit of JiO or 40 feet in a single season. 
Another valuable point in this climber is the fact that 
it comes into flower late in the season, when nearly 
all other vines have cea.sed blooming. Strong, thrifty 
plants, 20c each, 3 for 50c, 12 for S2.00.

HARDY CLIMBERS. 
The following list of Climbers will be found valuable to 
all who wish shade for verandas, trellises, etc. They are per- 
fectly hardy with slight protection, many not needing any at 
Ampelopsis En^lemannl. S'^hf 
grown. We have thoroughly tested it for several years 
alongside the A. Veit<aii, A. Quinquefolia and other ironclad 
climbers, and find it stands our severe winters better than 
any of them. The foliage and habit of growth are somewhat 
similar to the well known Virginia Creei)er, though the 
leaves are longer and more pointed. Its chief point of dif- 
ference, however, is its clinging nature.as it puts out numer- 
ous small tendrils or feet, which fasten it securely to the 
smoothest brick walls. It grows a dense mass of foliage and 
vine, affording the finest shade for arbors, verandas, trellises, 
etc., while for brick or stone walls or buildings, it is inde- 
scribably beautiful. The foliage is a bright, glossy green in 
summer, changing to a beautiful crimson at the approach of 
autumn. Strong plants I5c each, $1.50 per dozen.
