most graceful of all the weeping trees. A most beautiful tree with cut

ping out Cut Leaf Weeping Birch trees, we take extra care by packing the 
roots with damp moss. Customers should have the hole all ready to 
receive the tree before removing the moss; then plant immediately and 
success is sure. Use plenty of water in the hole and tramp the ground 
solid about the roots.

Ornamental Vines 
AMFELOFSIS ENG ELM ANNI. Similar to our native 
Virginia Creeper but of a much finer habit of growth 
and with smaller and more beautiful foliage. This is 
the hardy Ampelopsis or Ivy and the only hardy one 
that will cling to brick, stone, or plaster. Turns to very 
brilliant colors in the fall.

BITTERSWEET (Japanese). Has proven hardy with us 
here at Faribault. A very pretty vine with a glossy 
mottled leaf that is extremely pretty. Climbs up a 
post or tree as does the American kind. Very orna¬ 
mental and a real addition to our list of good vines. 
No. 1 vines, 55c each; 2 for $1.00, postpaid. 
Clematis Jackmani. 
BITTERSWEET (American). A beautiful hardy 
native climber, with glossy foliage, covered in 
autumn with long clusters of bright orange 
colored berries that burst open with frost and show 
rich red centers. Make wonderful winter bouquets 
which last a long time. Bittersweet comes stami- 
nate and pistillate plants separate. Only the pistil¬ 
late vines produce fruits. 
Pistillate vines, $1.00, each; Staminate, 55c each, 
postpaid. 
CLEMATIS. Of all the vines for out-and-out gorgeous¬ 
ness, none excel the Clematis. One must be very 
careful in planting and caring for Clematis to have 
them do well. Plant in a rich clay soil with the 
crown three inches below the surface—very im¬ 
portant. Mound the soil around the tops so the 
water does not stand. 
HenryL Large, beautiful creamy white. 
Jackmani. Extremely large, rich violet-purple. 
Mme. E. Andre. Free flowering velvety red. 
All Clematis 85c each; any 3 for $2.40, postpaid.

one of the best vines. Will climb and cover arbors 
and up great tall trees. Bears great quantities of 
long trumpet-shaped orange colored flowers. 
Beautiful shiny leaves. Hardy here with us. Have 
one vine over 20 years old on our grounds. 
2-year, 50c, each, postpaid. 
FURFLE WISTERIA. The vines should be planted 
in a protected spot, where the hard winds of winter 
do not strike them, and they will do well even in 
Southern Minnesota, provided only grafted vines 
are planted. Many Wisterias are grown from seed, 
and do not bloom well. 
Our plants are all grafted from strong, heavy- 
blooming vines. Strong, 3-yr., No. 1, $1.00 each; 
2 for $1.90, postpaid.
