A Magnificent Hardy Climbing Vine.

fragrance is delicious, resembling the English Haw- 
thorn blossom, and so subtle and penetrating that a 
largo plant in bloom fills the air with its exquisite 
fragrance. It begins to bloom late in August or early 
in September, when other hardy climbers are out of 
bloom. Grows quickly and strongly, reaching a height 
of fifteen to twenty feet. Hardy in all sections of 
the country. There is no better hardy vine. Price, 
10 cents; two-year, by express, 25 cents; by mall, 30 
cents.

the roots as a protection during the winter. They 
require support, such as a rod, pole, trellis or wire 
that they can twine around.
