BEAUTIFUL HARDY FLOWERING VINES. 
H oqeyslicklcs. 
The dear old Honeysuckle *s never out of place, at the 
rich man’s mansion or the poor man’s cottage. For a cheap, 
hardy, robust, yet lovely vine, it is the chief standby. 
Fuchsia Flowered—Large clusters of long, trumpet-shaped 
dowers that droop like a Fuchsia, brilliant coral red. 
Golden Leaved— Marvelously effective. It bears innumer¬ 
able sprays of the most perfect little leaves that are cov¬ 
ered with a net-work of gold and green, often marked 
with pink also. The gold deepens at the tip of the sprays 
and there is nothing liner to combine with corsage 
bouquets, while for trimming floral baskets they are the 
finest things we know of. Blossoms pure white. 
HalNana—The best white monthly Honeysuckle, with dark 
green foliage, which keeps fresh and green nearly all 
winter, and beautiful clusters of the sweetest-scented 
flowers that open a snowy white and turn a pale yellow. 
These dowers are produced in profusion from early 
spring to late fall. A fine vine for a trellis, or veranda. 
15c, each; the 3 for 40c $1.50 per dozen. 
Wistaria* 
A favorite vine that will 
grow twenty-five feet in a 
single season. Just the 
thing for second-story 
verandas, or as a tree dim', 
her. or to train against a 
high wall. In early spring 
is covered with great, mass¬ 
ive clusters of lovely pea¬ 
shaped flowers. 
AI ba- A mass of white dow¬ 
ers in spring, the clusters 
of bloom reaching two 
feet in length. 75c. each. 
Sinensis Magnlflca— Fine 
large dusters of lovely 
blue flowers, produced in 
great masses. 30c. each; 
Ampelopsis Veitchi. 
The fashionable wall i 
climber of the day. Clings 
tightly by suckers thrown 
out along the stem, brick, 
etc., and is a wall of living 
green the summer through, 
turning in autumn to a 
flaming crimson, when it is 
fairly gorgeous. It stands 
the dust and dry air of 
cities admirably. Nothing 
else can take its place. 15o. 
eaoh; 6 for 50c.; 12 for $1.00. 
Glenqatis. 
The finest vine it existence for small trellises, or piazza 
pillars. Used also to cover rock work, mound, stumps, etc. 
or can be used as a low trailer, pegging its shoots down to 
the ground. Foliage neat, habit graceful, and for a month a 
solid sheet of bloom, the large starry flowers actually hiding 
the foliage. The flowers are from 4 to 9 Indies across, ex¬ 
tremely showy. All of these are perfectly hardy, and are 
the finest varieties. 
Ramona —A strong, rampant grower, fully three times as 
strong as Jaekmanni, often growing ten feet the first 
season. It isa perpetual bloomer, flowersappearing both 
in the old and the new wood, giving an abundance of 
blossoms all through the season. In color a very deep 
sky-blue, lovely and distinct from any other. In size 
the flowers surpass anything we have ever seen. Per¬ 
fectly hardy and very vigorous; new and grand. 80c. 
Henryl—This is the finest ot all white Clematis, and should 
find a place in every collection. It is not only a vigorous 
grower, but is a remarkably free and continuous bloomer, 
beginning with the earliest and holding on with the 
latest. Flowers large, of a beautiful creamy white. 60c. 
Jaekmanni— This is perhaps the best known of the fine 
perpetual Clematis, and should have credit for the great 
popularity nowattending this family of beautiful climb¬ 
ers. The plant is free in its form of growth, and an 
abundant and successful bloomer, producing flowere 
until frozen up. The flowers are large, and of an intense 
viol t. purple, remarkable for its velvety richness. 50c. ' 
Paniculata- We cannot well say too much in praise of this 
vine. A clean, thrifty, robust growing vine, of graceful , 
habit, with attractive glossy foliage, and covered in 
August and September with a sheet of clustered snow- 
white bloom of the most delicious fragrance. No other 
vine so completely covers itself with flowers. An arbor 
or portico over which this Clematis is trained isa wall of 
white for the time being, and what makes it the more 
striking is that nearly all other vines have ceased bloom¬ 
ing at that time. The panicles of bloom are very pretty 
for cutting, the pretty star-like florets, with their feath¬ 
ery stamens appearing to fine advantage contrasted 
with the large and more vivid flowers of the early 
autumn garden. Perfectly hardy; grows rapidly. Fine 
vines, 35c. each; 3 for 60e..; 6 for $1 00. 
Cocclnea—A graceful festooning vine of graceful appear¬ 
ance. Bears a profusion of shining coral-scarlet Dnds 
and flowers all summer. Blossoms hell-shaped, very 
bright and beautiful. Fine for decorating. 20c. 
Crispa—Something like Cocoinea, but mor; broadly bell 
shaped, and their color a fine blue, tippeo. with white. 
Very neat foliage. 20c. each, 3 for50c. 
One each of the above 0 fine Clematis, $2.00,
