BEAUTIFUL VINES 
Ferris’ Vines give delightful finishing touches to the .home that 
shrubs and trees cannot supply—softening sharp angles, covering bleak 
stretches of wall, providing grateful shade around a sunny porch, or 
covering arches, trellises and pergolas in their alluring way. Many of 
them have fine blooms in season, adding still more to their desirability. 
Our Vines are strong, welbrooted plants, grown with utmost care, 
so that homes of Ferris customers may have the finest sort of finish.
