H ARDY VINES are of distinct value for use in beautifying the bare walls of houses, pergolas, garages, 
and other buildings, and are also of great utility because they provide comfortable shade. Some 
varieties contribute to our pleasure by diffusing a pleasant aroma and rendering the air fragrant 
within varying distance from the vines. Others please by the flowers they bear, some providing large flowers 
and others small ones according to variety. Most of them need some support. Ampelopsis, English Ivy, etc., 
attach themselves to walls and pillars of brick, wood, or stone by means of aerial rootlets, and, contrary 
to the general impression, they do not cause dampness but are of great benefit to a damp wall. 
Plant in a deep, rich soil and water thoroughly, giving an occasional top-dressing.

CLEMATIS 
Without doubt the Clematis are the most handsome 
and choicest group of hardy vines. They are classified 
into large- and small-flowering types, and we so list 
them. As a rule, they grow very rapidly and greatly 
enhance the beauty of any trellis, porch, fence, wall or 
stump, through their multitude of dazzling flowers, 
many of which will reach 6 inches in diameter. Their 
wide color-range runs from the purest silvery white to 
the deepest purple. They love a cool, moist, well- 
drained soil, preferably with southern exposure. 
We grow several varieties in addition to those listed 
below. If interested, write us for list
