Plant vines for shade and beauty

Vines 
Hardy climbing vines are particularly desirable as they tend 
to serve many useful purposes. Not only are they a source of 
beauty in themselves, but they make charming decorations and 
provide much needed shade. They also change the appearance 
of an unbroken wall and liven up the unsightly spots of your 
lawn. In spring and summer their foliage is a mat of green leaves, 
which turn to rich yellow, red and bronze in autumn. 
BOSTON IVY. One of the finest climbers for covering walls, 
as it clings firmly to the smoothest surface, covering it evenly 
with overlapping leaves. The color is fresh, deep green in 
summer, changing to bright 
shades of crimson and yellow in 
autumn. Needs no support to 
cling to walls. 25c each. 
BIGNONIA RADICANS (Trum- 
pet Vine). A robust climber, with 
great leathery, trumpet-shaped 
flowers of scarlet. A beautiful, 
showy vine, useful for fences and 
screens. 20c each. 
Clematis Paniculata. 
CINNAMON VINE. A strong, hardy 
climber from China. 10 to 30 feet, 
leaves heart-shaped; flowers small, white, 
cinnamon scented. Very fragrant and 
free from insects. 10c each; 3 for 25c. 
HONEYSUCKLE, HALL’S EVER¬ 
GREEN JAPAN. One of the best of 
the climbing Honeysuckles. Has oval, 
semi-evergreen foliage and fragrant, 
yellow and cream colored flowers. 20c 
each. 
H., SCARLET TRUMPET. Same price 
as Hall’s Evergreen Japan. 
SILVER LACE VINE. Very quick grow¬ 
ing; produces more bloom than any 
other vine, blooming from late sum¬ 
mer into the fall. Small, fresh, shining 
foliage and large, foamy sprays of sil¬ 
very white bloom. 35c each. 
VIRGINIA CREEPER (Woodbine). A 
strong, rapid grower; foliage large, dark 
green, in autumn bronze and crimson. 
This is an old favorite and valuable for 
covering back porches and arbors. Per¬ 
fectly hardy everywhere and will grow 
in any soil and situation, but must be 
tied, as it will not adhere to a wall. 
15c each; 2 for 25c. 
WISTERIA, PURPLE. Large, drooping 
clusters of purple, pea-shaped flowers, 
rapid grower. Blooms in May and June. 
20c each.

2 Hardy White Clematis 
Post 
Bittersweet. 
BITTERSWEET (Cclastrus scandens). 
Perfectly hardy and of rapid growth. 
Handsome, glossy foliage. Large clus¬ 
ters of beautiful orange-crimson ber¬ 
ries that are retained all winter. The 
berries are in great demand for in¬ 
side winter decoration. We do not 
know of any vine that is more satis¬ 
factory. It is exceptionally fine for 
trellises or porches. If you wish some¬ 
thing to give a little color to your 
trees, plant one at the base of the 
shade trees. This vine seems to do 
better than other vines. 25c each. 
CLEMATIS PANICULATA. The small 
flowering, sweet scented Japan Clem¬ 
atis. One of the most vigorous and 
beautiful of all climbers. In late sum¬ 
mer it produces dense sheets of me¬ 
dium sized, pure white flowers of the 
most pleasing fragrance. 20c each. 
Virginia Creeper. 
Wisteria Blossoms.
