I OlygOnUm /AUDCrtl an( j valuable rapid climb¬ 
ing, hardy vines introduced in many years. The plant is a 
quick growing vine of twining habit, often attaining a height 
of 25 to 30 ft. in a season, producing more flowers than any 
other hardy vine we know, throughout the summerand fall 
months, literally covered with silvery-white foamy sprays. 
The illustration from a photograph gives a very good idea of 
the great beauty. This splendid vine is usually offered in 
growing plants, which are rather difficult to transplant. We 
are fortunate in having a supply of heavy, dormant pot 
plants, which are 2 year field grown plants, guaranteed to 
give you satisfaction. If you have a place for a beautiful per¬ 
manent hardy vine, you will be delighted with this variety.

Hardy Climbing Vines 
The attractive beauty that may be added to a home by planting a few hardy climbing vines 
around the porch or on a trellis, arbor or fence is unsurpassed by any other plantings. Their 
usefulness in covering unsightly fences and buildings and turning them into objects of 
beauty is far in excess of their small cost. They tit in and grow well in locations where no 
other plants will grow with success. Every home should have a few, and our list includes 
only those which will succeed in nearly any location.
