HARDY CLIMBING VINES 
Silver Lace Vine 
Silver Lace Vine (Polygonum auberti)— 
Often we have had inquiries for a good climb¬ 
ing vine that will make a good showing and a 
good strong growth the first year and yet be 
permanent. This was a difficult problem but 
now we have the Silver Lace Vine which often 
makes a growth of 25 feet or more in one 
season. This is a new, quick-growing, twin¬ 
ing vine with small attractive foliage. The 
flowers are very small and lacy and when the 
plant blooms, it is a perfect mass of silvery 
white. Blooms over a very long period, from 
August to frost. Each, 60c; 5 for $2.75.
