HARDY ORNAMENTAL VINES 
Add Beauty and Charm 
Beautiful coverings for walls, verandas, or for screening harsh outlines, lending great charm to barren 
surfaces and furnishing shade.

flowers in July and August. 25c ecah; 3 for 65c.

BOSTON IVY 
AMPELOPSIS VEITCHI—The tendrils of this climbing vine at nearly every point cling firmly to the smoothest 
surface of rock or wood. The glossy leaves assume in the autumn the most beautiful tints of scarlet and 
crimson. The handsomest vine possible for growth on house walls. It is quite hardy, but some protection of 
straw may well be used immediately over the roots in winter. Strong roots, 25c each; 3 for 65c. 
CHINESE CINNAMON VINES 
Its rapid growth, abundant foliage and modest, sweet scented flowers give it supremacy over all foreign 
and domestic climbers. The handsome, glossy, heart-shaped leaves and clusters of fragrant white flowers 
make a window, arbor or veranda a perfect bower of beauty. They stand the severest winter, and burst forth 
in all their beauty and splendor very early in the spring. These vines make a long slender root, which should 
be planted with small end up. 15c each; 3 for 40c. 
HARDY LARGE FLOWERING CLEMATIS 
Many failures in .the growing of Clematis are the result of too shallow planting; the crown of the roots 
should be set at least 3 inches below the surface of the soil. They delight in a rich, cool soil in an open, 
sunny position. For covering walls, trellises, or verandas, old trees or ruins, or as specimens on the lawn or 
for massing in large beds on the lawn. Pot-grown plants, 50c each; 3 for $1.25.

violet purple, with a rich velvety appearance and distinctly veined.

of white varieties; a perpetual bloomer. 
MME. EDOUARD ANDRE—Large-flowering red Clematis. A very unique variety, color a beau¬ 
tiful wine-red, large flowers with heavy petals; a fine contrast to the other sorts.

in August and September with a sheet of clustered snow-white bloom of the most delicious 
fragrance. Perfectly hardy, grows rapidly. One-year pot plants, 20c each; 3 for 50e. Large field- 
grown plants, 35e each; 3 for $1.00. 
ENGLISH IVY 
HEDE'RA HELIX—An excellent variety for cultivation in the house, being a free grower with 
very beautiful broad, glossy green leaves. Should have good light and be watered sparingly.

HONEYSUCKLES 
HALL’S JAPAN—The finest of all Honeysuckles. Rampant in its growth, with dark green leaves 
densely covering the vines. Flowers white and buff, deliciously fragrant, borne in great pro¬ 
fusion all summer. 25c each; 3 for 65c.

ing by its own aerial rootlets. The foliage is large, bold and attractive; fragrant white hydrangea 
flowers. Small size, 20c each. 
WISTERIA CHINENSIS

vigorous grower with a profusion of pea-shaped flowers in dense clusters, 7 to 1 2 inches long, 
opening in midspring. We can furnish the purplish-blue. 35c each; 3 for $1.00. 
CHOICE HARDY SHRUBS 
Whether planted individually or collectively, the shrub is an important feature in the adorn- 
Wictorla ment of any ground. At the edges of the lawn, along walks or drives, or in distant corners, a 
e collection of shrubs may be gathered that will give a succession of bloom from 
the opening of spring until frost comes to destroy the flowers. 
NOTE—Some customers do not understand why shrubs are received in dormant condition, without foliage, 
etc., and think because they are “dead looking” that they are without life. Of course this impression is wrong 
as all hardy growth in our northern country is suspended during winter season, but springs to renewed life 
when growing time comes. 
BUTTERFLY BUSH (Buddleia) 
(Summer Lilac)—Blooms continuously all summer. Long cylinder like panicles of bloom, beautiful purple 
lilac in color, having a pleasing fragrance which attracts scores of butterflies. 1-year pot size, 30c each; 3 
for 50c. Field-grown plants, 35e each; 3 for $1.00. 
SWEET SCENTED SHRUB (Calycanthus)

strong, delicious pineapple fragrance, very popular. 18 to 24 inch, 40c each; 3 for $1.00. 
ABELIA CRANDIFLORA 
Bush Arbutus—Broadleaved Evergreen 
Just a few years ago this was thought to be a warm climate plant only; today there are many fine speci¬ 
mens in northern gardens, and as it becomes known that it is hardy, it will be universally popular. From May 
till frost the graceful shaped white branches are covered with clusters of tubular shaped white flowers faintly 
t nted pink The leaves are small, lance shaped and glossy green with metallic sheen at the approach of winter. 
It is particularly useful as specimens, for hedges, or in groupings for mass plantings around foundations or 
elsewhere Ultimate height, 4'/ 2 to 5 feet, but if the long, tender shoots are pinched back during the growing 
feason, the plant becomes ^ery dense and compact. It may be kept quite dwarf by trimming. Small, 15c each; 
large, 30c each. . _ . . . ,
