Beautiful 4^ardy Lowering Vines. 
Hoi^cysiickle. 
The dear old Honeysuckle is never out of place, at the 
rich man's mansion or the poor man's cot tage. For a cheap, 
hardy, robust, yet lovely vine, it is the chief stand-by. 
Flowers exceedingly beautiful and very fragrant. 
Fuchsia Flowered. Large clusters of long, trumpet-shaped 
flowers, that droin) like a Fuchsia, and are of a brilliant 
coral red. Very fine. 
Golden Leaved. Marvelously effective. It bears innumer- 
able sprays of the most perfect little leaves that are 
covered with a net-work of gold and green, often marked 
with pink also. The gold deepens at the tipof the sprays 
and there is nothing finer to combine with corsage bou¬ 
quets, while for trimming floral baskets they are the 
finest thing we know of. A strong grower, with white 
blossoms. A unique vine. 
Haillana. 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 showy white and turn a pale vellow. 
These flowers are produced in profusion from' early 
spring to late fall. A fine vine for a large trellis, or to 
train at the end of a veranda, or over tall screens. 
30c , each; the 3for 50c. $1J>0 per dozen. 
Wistaria. 
A favorite vine, that will grow 
twenty-five feet in a single, season. 
Just the thing forsecond-story ver¬ 
andas. or as a tree climber, or to 
train againsta high wall. In early 
spring is covered with great mas¬ 
sive clusters, sometimes two feet 
long, of lovely pea-shaped flowers. 
Alba. Amass of white flowers in 
spring, the clusters of bloom 
reaching two feet in length. 
75c. each. 
Sinensis Magnifies. Fine large 
clusters of lovely blue flowers 
produced in great masses. 20c. 
each. 3 for afto. 
Ampelopsis Veitchi. 
The fashionable wall climber of the day. Clings tightly 
by suckers thrown out alon^ the stem, to rock, 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. 15c. each; 5 for 50c.; 12 for 81.00 
Glen^atis. 
The finest vine in existence for small trellises, or piazza 
pillars. Used also to cover rock-work, numnd, stumps, etc., 
nr can be used as a low trailer, pegging its shoots down to 
the ground. Foliage neat, habit graceful, and for monthsa 
solid sheet of bloom, the large, starry flowers actually hiding 
the foliage. The flowers are from 4 to 9 inches across, ex¬ 
tremely showy. All of these are perfectly hardy. And are 
T lie finest varieties: 
Ramona. A strong, rampant grower, fully three times as 
strone as Jackmanni, often growing ten feet the first 
season. It is a perpetual bloomer, fllowcrs appearing 
both in the old and the new wood, giving an abundance 
of blossoms all th rough 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 ami very vigorous; new and grand. 80 c. 
Henryl. This is the finestof all white Clematis, and should 
find a place in every collection. It isnotonly a vigorous 
grower, kut is a remarkably free and continuous bloomer, 
beginning with the earliest and holding on with the 
latest. Flowers large, of a beautiful creamy white. 60 o. 
Jackmanni. This is perhaps the best known of the fine 
perpetual Clematis, and should have credit for the great 
popularity now attending this family of beautiful 
climbers. The plant isfree in Its forn of growth, and an 
abundant and successful blol'mer, producing flowers 
until frozen vp. Tile flownrs are large, of .an intense 
violet purple, remarkable for its velvety richness. 60 c. 
Paulculata. Wo con not well say too much in praise of 
this.vine. A clean, thrifty, robust growing vine, of 
graceful habit, with attractive glossy foliage, and cover¬ 
ed in August and September with a sheet of clustered 
show 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, is a 
wall of white for the time being, and what makes it the 
more striking is that nearly all other vines have ceased 
blooming at that time. The panicles of bloom are very 
pretty for cutting, the pretty star-like florets, with their 
feathery stamens rppearing to line advantage contrasted 
with the larger and more vivid flowers of the early 
autumn garden. Perfectly hardy, grows rapidly. Fine 
vines. 25c. each; 3 for 60c.; 6 for $1.00. 
Cocclnea. A graceful festoonsng vine of elegant appear¬ 
ance. Bears a profusion of shining coral-scarlet buds 
and flowers all summer. Blossoms hell-staped, very 
bright and beautiful. Fine for decorating. 20c. each. 
Crlspa. Something like Coccinea, but more broadly bell¬ 
shaped. and their color a fine blue tipped with white. 
Very neat foliage. 20. each; 3 for 50e. 
One each of above S fine Clematis, f 3.00
