producing in early spring bunches of violet-brown flowers which have 
a pleasant cinnamon odor. Strong plants, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz. 
AMPELOPSIS 
Sometimes called Boston Ivy 
and Japan Ivy 
Veitchii. This is the most deservedly popular of all climbing plants, 
being entirely hardy in the most exposed places and attaining a 
height of 30 feet in two or three years; clings to stones, brick, or 
woodwork with the greatest tenacity. During the summer the 
leaves are a rich shade of green, but it is in the fall that it shows its 
exquisite beauty. The leaves then change to the brightest tints 
of scarlet, crimson, and orange. Extra-strong, field-grown plants, 
50 cts. each, $5 per doz., $40 per 100. 
Quinquefolia (Virginia Creeper; American Ivy). This well-known 
climber is one of the best and quickest growing varieties for cover¬ 
ing trees, trellises, arbors, and the like. The large, deep green 
foliage assumes brilliant shades of yellow, crimson, and scarlet in 
the fall. Strong, field-grown plants, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz., 
$40 per 100. 
ARISTOLOCHIA SIPHO 
Dutchman’s Pipe Vine 
A vigorous and rapid-growing climber, bearing brownish colored

admired for its light green leaves, which retain their color from early 
spring until the fall. Strong plants, $1 each, $10 per doz., $75 per 100. 
BIGNONIA RADICANS

For covering unsightly places, stumps, rockwork or planting in

orange fruit which usually remains on the plant throughout the 
winter. Strong plants, 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz., $60 per 100. 
CLEMATIS 
The soil for Clematis should be well drained and of a light, loamy 
texture. It should be of good depth, as Clematis dislikes limited 
root-space. Clematis likes lime. 
Paniculata (Japanese Virgin’s Bower). This hardy climber is one 
of the most satisfactory climbing flowering plants. The flowers 
appear in profusion during August, and continue until late in the 
fall, are white in color and deliciously fragrant. 50 cts. each, $5

ter. As a hardy evergreen plant for wall-covering, this variety is j 
unequaled. Strong plants, 75 cts. each, $ 7-50 per doz., S50 per 100. |

Scarlet Trumpet. This and its varieties are the handsomest in 
cultivation. It is a strong, rapid grower and produces scarlet, in¬ 
odorous flowers. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz., $40 per 100. 
PASSIFLORA CABRULEA (Passion Flower) 
A curiously beautiful flower with creamy white petals and a fringed 
crown or halo of clear blue and purple rays around the mysterious 
center. Vigorous vine which will need protection at the root in 
northern climates. Strong pot-plants, delivery May 1, $1 each, 
$10 per doz. 
WISTERIA 
The ideal conditions for Wisterias are a well-drained loam, sun¬ 
shine and plenty of moisture while in flower, but, given all these, 
the plants often refuse to flower. Cut out useless wood. Prune the 
roots and the top-growth will be retarded. Prune the top-growth 
back to short branches, less severely for the young plants, more 
severely for the older specimens. Wisterias are quite difficult to trans¬ 
plant. These are all strong, 2-year-old, grafted plants which more 
definitely assure flowering in from 2 to 3 years. 
Sinensis (Chinese Wisteria). A most beautiful climber. When es¬ 
tablished it grows 15 to 20 feet in a season. Flowers pale blue. 
Extra-strong plants, $1 each, $10 per doz., $75 per 100. 
Sinensis, White. A white-flowering form of the above. Strong 
plants, $1 each, $10 per doz., $75 per 100.
