POPULAR HARDY CLIMBING VINES 
AMPELOPSIS VEITCHII (Boston Ivy) 
One of the finest climbers we have for covering walls, as it clings 
/Irmly to the smoothest surface. In summer the foliage is a rich shade 
of green, hut in the fall it assumes the most gorgeous tints of scarlet, 
crimson and orange, so dazzling as to be seen at a great distance.

Madame Edouard Amlre. Of the Jackmanni type and the 
nearest approach to a bright red that has yet appeared. The flowers are 
very large, usually six-petaled, of a distinct, pleasing shade of carmine, 
and are produced in bewildering profusion. 
Paniculata. Flowers pure white, hawthorn-scented, and borne in 
great masses of panicles or clusters, so profuse as to fairly cover the 
plant with a sheet of fleecy white.

expense. Set of six for $2.25.

its parent, the popular Jackmanni, in habit and make-up, except that its 
flowers are a lively satiny lavender-pink; entirely distinct from any 
other variety and charming in effect.

evergreen foliage.

vine, producing in early summer a great profusion of large clusters of
