Sil'ver-S'weei Vine * (Actinidia Polygama) TRUE. 
A new hardy climber, of remarkable beauty, from Japan. The foliage on 
the ends of the flowering shoots is of a silvery white color, giving the whole 
vine, from a little distance, the appearance of being covered with large, white 
flowers blooming among its bright green leaves. The effect is vrey marked 
and beautiful. The flowers, which appear in this latitude about the middle of 
June, lasting from two to three weeks, are creamy white in color, with numerous 
stamens with bright yellow anthers, and resemble the lily of the valley in fra¬ 
grance. 
The foliage is almost absolutely free from insect pests, and the whole vine, 
throughout the entire season, remarkably clean and attractive. The growth 
is rapid and vigorous. Price. 30c. each ; 2 for 50c. ; 3 for 60c. 
c Btgnonia Grandiflora . 
Mammoth-Flowered Trumpet-Creeper. 
This is one of the most superb climbing vines in existence. 
Grows with rapidity and abandon. Perfectly hardy, having 
withstood a continued temperature of ib degrees below zero. It 
will give absolute satisfaction. For covering unsightly places, 
stumps, dead walls, fences, or for training over a porch or trellis; 
in fact, wherever a beautiful climbing vine is needed it is un¬ 
equaled. The flowers are trumpet-shaped, of large size, fully 3 
inches long, and borne profusely in clusters of 25 to 35 each, for 
several weeks during the growing season. The color is warm, 
orange-red. The foliage is exceedingly beautiful, rich, dark 
green, shining as if varnished, like that of the Camellia. Resists 
all insect attacks. Does equally well in sun or shade, and likes a 
rich, loamy soil. As a quick, free-blooming and absolutely hardy 
climbing vine, it will be found hard to beat. 
Strong plants, 20c. each ; 3 for 50c.; 7 for $1.00 ; $1.60 per 
dozen, postpaid. 
Aristolochia Sip ho. 
Aristolochia Sipho. 
(Dutchman’s Pipe Vine.) 
A vigorous and rapid-growing climber, bearing singular, 
brownish-colored flowers, resembling in shape a pipe. Its flowers, 
however, are of little value compared to its fine, light green 
leaves, which are of very large size, and retain their color from 
early spring to late fall. Perfectly hardy. Strong plants, 30c. 
each ; $3.00 per dozen. Extra strong plants, 50c. 
Seed, per pkt., 10c.
