Hardy Vines and Creepers •» « 
In tlie beautifying of grounds, the climbing shrubs 
are indispensable. They will grow where other orna¬ 
mentals find no room. For home embellishment there 
is nothing that adds more grace to the exterior of a 
home than well-placed and appropriate vines. The en¬ 
chanting pergola, shady arbor and veranda, or clinging 
wall cover, gives that artistic effect that no other treat¬ 
ment can produce. Climbing vines add comfort, per¬ 
fume and flowers. 
Vines should have deep, rich soil, and without which 
these charming shrubs will be both disappointing and 
commonplace. Generally vines about the house get set 
in a mixture of clay, brickbats, cinders and building 
refuse, and the owner finally decides that vines are not 
much good; while if the ground had been prepared by 
filling in with good rich soil before planting, and 
mulched heavily with well rotted manure in the fall, 
the results would be most satisfactory. 
AMPELOPSIS VEITCHI (Boston Ivy)—The most popu¬ 
lar climbing plant for covering brick, stone or 
wooden walls, trees, etc. When it becomes established 
it is of very rapid growth and clings to the smoothest 
surface, covering closely with overlapping foliage, 
giving the appearance of shingles. The color is a 
fresh deep green in the summer, changing to the 
brightest shades of crimson and yellow in the fall. 
Not absolutely hardy in the north. Price, each 50e; 
per 10, $4.50. 
AMPEEOPSIS ENGEEMANI (Engleman's Ivy)—A small 
leaved variety of the American Ivy or Virginia 
Creeper. Extremely hardy and strong growing and 
easy to get started, will cling closely to any kind of a 
wall without any support; dense, light green foliage 
in summer, changing to a brilliant crimson in the 
autumn. The very best and hardiest for this latitude. 
Price, each 25c; per 10, $2.00. 
CLEMATIS JACKMANI—Hardy vine with very large 
purple flowers. There is no climbing plant that equals 
it in attractiveness or beauty. They like a rich, moist 
situation and not too sunny a location. The crowns 
should be planted about 3 inches deep. Price, each 
75c; per 10, $6.50. 
CLEMATIS PANICULATA (Virgin’s Bower)—A strong 
luxuriant grower with light green foliage that is 
handsome in itself. Small white fragrant flowers in 
feathery panicles, blooming late in the season. Very 
popular, hardy and desirable. Price, each 50c; per 
10, $4.50. 
CELASTKUS SCANDENS (American Bitter-Sweet)— 
Well known native climber, handsome glossy foliage 
and large clusters of beautiful orange-crimson fruit, 
retained all winter. Its graceful sprays of berries 
make charming winter home decorations. Fine for 
covering old stumps or rough fences. Price, each 35c; 
per 10, $3.00. 
JAPANESE SPURGE (Pachysandra Terminalis)-—A 
hardy evergreen ground cover with attractive dark 
green leaves, valuable for planting in shady places 
where grass will not grow. When once established it 
becomes a veritable mat, completely covering the 
ground. Also suitable for grave covers. Price, each 
10c; per 10, 75c. 
LONICERA HALLIANA (Japan Honeysuckle)—Strong 
grower, holds its dark-green foliage until early win¬ 
ter; almost evergreen. Flowers white, changing to 
yellow; very fragrant. Unexcelled as a porch climber 
or wall cover. Price, eacli 25c; per 10, $2.00. 
LONICERA SEMPER VIRENS (Trumpet Honeysuckle) 
—Very old-fashioned vine with scarlet trumpet-shaped 
flowers borne in great profusion. Very attractive to 
Humming Birds during the summer. Price, each 30c;

DUTCHMAN’S PIPE VINE (Aristoloclila Siplio)—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 bright green leaves, which are of very large size 
and retain their color from early spring to late fall; 
perfectly hardy. Price, each $1.00; per 10, $7.50. 
IiUDZU VINE—A perennial vine from Japan, with a 
large tuberous root. When well established will make 
a growth of 40 to 50 feet in a season. Dies down to 
the ground each season. Flowers rosy purple, pea¬ 
shaped. Price, each 75c; per 10, $6.00. 
LICIUM VULGARE (Matrimony Vine)—Very showy 
vine with dark green foliage, small light blue flowers 
and coral-red berries borne in great profusion. Price, 
eacli 15c; per 10, $1.00.

orous and rapid growing climber, which in blooming 
is covered with foamy sprays of creamy white flowers.

fashioned evergreen creeper well adapted for ground 
cover and rockeries. Leaves dark green and glossy; 
flowers blue. Fine for grave cover. Price, eacli 10c;

producing dense drooping clusters of pea-shaped 
flowers in May and occasionally during the fall. Color 
violet blue, richly perfumed. One of the handsomest 
for pergolas, trellises and porches. Price, each 35c; 
per 10, $3.00. 
FERNS (Hardy Woods Ferns)—With few exceptions. 
Ferns do best in shady or semi-shady locations in 
rich, well drained soil, where they can be supplied 
with water during dry weather. For naturalizing in 
woodland they are fine subjects planted with Fox¬ 
glove. Funkias and Columbines. They are of ex¬ 
tremely easy culture. Price, Strong Clumps, each 30c.
