Use Vines Where Needed for Shade and Comfort 
Polygonum Auberti 
Vines and Climbing Plants 
Vines are the gardener’s greatest aid in covering up mistakes and concealing igno¬ 
rance in planning or constructing anything from a garage to a “spite fence.” They also 
mitigate the harshness of Nature, throwing a mantle of beauty over dead trees, unsightly 
rocks, or rough banks, but they have a more definite, positive use, as well. They enhance 
the beauty of a wall of brick or stucco or stone and provide the only excuse for the 
lattice trellises and garden arbors which are so abundant in suburban areas. Vines ought 
to be used generously wherever there is need for shade and comfort.

Flowering Standards 
These standards are grown especially for us on the estate of Mrs. E. T. Bedford, 
Greens Farms, Conn.; Mr. J. G. Brock, Supt. Interested visitors are invited to call to see 
this stock. Graceful, tree-like plants, just formal enough to give dignity and Old-World 
charm to well-planned gardens. They are trained to one upright stem, upon which a rounded 
top is formed and from which the blooms sparkle at the level of the eye, relieving the 
monotony of uniformly level beds. 
They come to you with splendid, well-formed heads, and need only occasional pinch¬ 
ing to keep them in shape. Their general cultural requirements are the same as those ol 
the usual forms of these plants. In cool climates these standards should be lifted at 
the approach of winter and stored like geraniums. Treated thus, they will gain in beauty 
and impressiveness from year to year. 
We offer four varieties trained in this form.
