HARDY CLIMBING VINES 
Climbing Vines are for the purpose of covering an unsightly object like 
a fence, outbuilding, or for beautifying either the porch, summer house or 
other place. Consequently, you want hardy vines, with a rapid top growth, 
something that you do not need to take down in the winter. The hardiest 
and best of all of those that will stand the North are the Ampelopsis, Bitter¬ 
sweet, Beta Grape and Wild Grape. Those next in hardiness would be the 
Honeysuckle, Cinnamon Vine and Clematis. 
Ampelopsis Veitchi (Boston Ivy)—This is one of the finest climbers we 
have for covering walls, as it clings firmly to the smoothest surface covering 
it closely with overlapped foliage, giving it the appearance of being shingled 
with green leaves. The color is deep green in summer, changing to the 
brightest shades of crimson and yellow in autumn. 
Each $ .40; 5 for $1.80 
Ampelopsis Quinquefolia (Virginia Creeper)—Deeply cut leaves which 
turn to a beautiful crimson in fall; fine for covering trees, rocky slopes, etc. 
Very hardy. 
Each $ .25; 5 for $1.00 
Jackmanni Clematis —Well known, large-flowering blue Clematis, flowers 
almost violet with a rich velvetly appearance, distinctly veined. Blooms from 
July until frost. Plant is hardy. 
Each $ .60; 5 for $2.50 in pots 
Clematis Henryi —This is the finest of all large flowering white clematis. 
A vigorous grower and free bloomer. Flowers large creamy white with red¬ 
dish chocolate anthers. 
Each $ .60; 5 for $2.50 in pots 
Dutchman’s Pipe or Aristolochia— The flowers in shape are similar to the 
old fashioned Dutch pipe. Is a rapid climber and does best on the North side 
of houses, where the full force of the sun does not strike them. Hardy here 
at Rogers, better not plant too far North, blooms in June. 
Each $ .40; 5 for $1.75 
Bittersweet (Celastrus Scandens)—Perfectly hardy, rapid growth. Hand¬ 
some glossy foliage. Large clusters of beautiful orange-crimson berries that 
are in great demand for inside winter decorations. We do not know of any 
vine that is more satisfactory. It is exceptionally fine for trellises, porches. 
If you wish something to give a little color to your trees, plant one at the 
base of the shade trees. This vine seems to do better on trees than other 
vines. 
Each $ .25; 5 for $1.05 
Wild Grape —One of the best if not the best grape for covering porches, 
summer houses and arbors. 
Each $ .20; 10 for $1.70 
Matrimony Vine —The Matrimony vine is one of the latest in vines. It 
makes a growth of twenty feet in a season. Small purplish flowers followed 
by red berries. Recommended for arbors. Very hardy. 
Each $ .40; 2 for $ .70 
PEONIES 
There is no flower today that has so many real admirers in America as the 
Peony. No matter how large or small the flower garden, it seems the Peony 
must be there with its rugged dark green foliage and massive yet delicate 
blooms to complete the picture. Not only is this true but the Peony will stand 
more abuse and neglect than almost any other flower and yet serve well its
