CLEMATIS 
VINES 
Hardy climbers are most essential in giving 
the homestead that cozy and home-like aspect. 
That is the ultimate object of all home plant¬ 
ing. Climbers provide both shade and privacy 
for porches, garden houses, or terraces. They 
are easily grown, increasing in size and beauty 
every year. They represent a valuable in¬ 
vestment considering their low first cost. All 
our climbing plants are guaranteed to grow.
