TRUMPET VINE. The orange-scarlet 
trumpet shaped flowers on the tips of 
the branches make a gorgeous show. A 
very strong, vigorous grower. 30c

Vines add beauty to every home. They brighten up and 
cover barren walls, fences, trellises, porches and rockeries. 
A hot, sunny back porch can be made into a cool delight¬ 
ful room simply by shading it with a few vines. Boston 
Ivy, Engelmann’s Ivy and Climbing Hydrangeas cling to 
brick or stone without support. Other varieties have at¬ 
tractive flowers and berries. All are permanent, hardy, 
thrifty, 2 yr. old outdoor nursery grown.

Clematis 
The most beautiful of all the Climbing Vines from a 
flowering standpoint. The large-flowering Clematis are 
unusually attractive for porch blooms. The small-flowered 
Paniculata holds the lead as a shade producer and an 
abundance of blooms, and its flowers have an unusual 
perfume. They need rich, deep soil, good drainage, abun¬ 
dance of water, and most important of all, they should be 
planted with the crowns three inches beneath the surface 
of the soil. 
Large Flowering Clematis 
Most beautiful of all, with large bell-shaped flowers. 
All of my large Flowering Clematis Vines will bloom this 
summer for you. 2 yr. plants. 65c 
-each; 2 for $1.20; 4 for $2.25. 
JACKMANI. Large, very showy, 
rich purple flowers.

red flower, deep color.
