126 MICHELL’S CLIMBING PLANTS AND VINES 
Vines play an important part in the landscape of the home. 
There are so many purposes they fill that we cannot recommend 
too highly their general use. 
AKEBIA—Quinata. Quick-growing vine; small, fine-lobed, 
half-evergreen leaves, and purplish brown or chocolate-colored 
flowers, which have a delicious odor. This plant is highly 
desirable where a dense shade is not desired. Extra strong 
plants, 35c. each; $3.50 per doz. 
AMPELOPSIS— Q uinquefolia ( Virginia Creeper). The large 
handsome, dark green leaves are deeply cut into five lobes. In 
the Autumn the foliage turns a beautiful rich crimson; especially 
adapted to covering tree stumps and trunks. Extra strong 
plants, 35c. each; $5.00 per doz. 
AMPELOPSIS—Veitchii ( Boston Ivy). The popular climber for 
brick and stone buildings and walls. The leaves are a beautiful 
deep green which in the Autumn turn to a coppery red. Strong 
plants, 40c. each; $4.00 per doz. 
ARISTOLOCHIA—Sipho ( Dutchman’s Pipe). Handsome light 
green leaves, giving a quick, dense shade. The brown flowers 
are shaped like the bowl of a pipe. Large plants $1.00 each; 
$10.00 per doz. 
BIGNONIA—Grandiflora ( Trumpet Vine). A strong-growing 
vine, with rich green foliage and trumpet-shaped flowers; free- 
flowering; dark red, throat shaded orange. Strong plants, 
50c. each; $5.00 per doz. 
CELASTRUS SCANDENS ( Bittersweet or Waxwort). A vine of 
rapid growth. In the early Summer it produces yellow flowers, 
which by Autumn have turned to bright, orange-colored fruits, 
with red markings. Extra strong plants, 35c. each; $3.50 per doz. 
Clematis, Jackmani 
Ampelopsis Veitchii 
CLEMATIS 
This family of Climbing Plants are probably more popular 
than any other. Some of the small flowering varieties are exceed¬ 
ingly fragrant. The large flowering types make a glorious effect on 
account of their gigantic blooms and striking appearance. All 
Clematis delight in plenty of sunlight, rich soil and plenty of 
water in dry weather. Great care should be exercised in planting 
the large-flowering varieties. During the process of transplanting, 
the stem is likely to get broken below the eye shoots, which would 
render the plant useless. To guard against this, place a few stakes 
around the plant to protect it after planting. In the Winter put 
a covering of straw, long manure, or leaves around the roots. 
CLEMATIS MONTANA RUBRA 
Identical in every way with the variety Montana Undulata 
except in color, which is of a pleasing shade of soft rosy-red, a 
most desirable color. Strong plants, 50c. each. 
CLEMATIS MONTANA UNDULATA 
(Anemone Clematis) 
A strong, vigorous, perfectly hardy type that succeeds 
under the most adverse conditions. The Anemone or Wind¬ 
flower-like white, flushed mauve flowers are from 1 Yi to 2 inches 
in diameter and frequently begin to open the last week, in 
April, just when Wisterias are finished flowering, continuing 
well throughout May. The best of the early Spring flowering 
climbers. Strong pot plants, 50c. each.

er, with light green foliage. At the close of August innumerable
