HARDY VINES and GROUND COVERS 
Every Home 7\[eeds a Few Hardy Vines 
Clematis jackmani 
BITTERSWEET (Celastrus scandens). 
A high climbing vine with broad bright 
green leaves. Fruit capsules orange 
yellow with crimson arils retained 
throughout the Winter. 
BITTERSWEET, Evergreen (Euony- 
mus radicans). A dependable spe¬ 
cies, slow growing, good brick climber, 
also used as a ground cover or small 
shrub. Its thick, bright green leaves 
are retained through the Winter. 
BOSTON IVY (Ampelopsis veitchi). 
A beautiful, hardy Japanese species. 
Leaves overlap one another, forming a 
dense sheet of green. Grows rapidly, 
and clings firmly to the smoothest sur¬ 
face; foliage very handsome in Sum¬ 
mer, changing to scarlet in Autumn. 
CINNAMON-VINE (Dioscorea bata¬ 
tas). Climbs from 10 to 30 ft. The 
shining green leaves bear small clusters 
of cinnamon scented white flowers in 
the axils. 
CLEMATIS, Andre. A strong grower 
and free bloomer. Large, violet red 
flowers. 
CLEMATIS, Duchess of Edinburgh. 
Large white flowering. Grows 8 to 10 
ft. tall and produces a profusion of 
large, double, pure white flowers in 
July, continuing for several weeks. 
CLEMATIS jackmani. A free and 
abundant bloomer, the flowers being 
a velvety violet purple. This is the 
most popular large flowerin'g Clematis. 
CLEMATIS paniculata grandiflora. 
The finest of all small-flowered Clem¬ 
atis. In Midsummer the entire vine 
is clothed in a mass of white bloom. 
The vine is vigorous and a strong grow¬ 
er; very effective when intermingled 
with other Climbers. 
ENGLISH IVY (Hedera helix). Shiny, 
evergreen leaves. Extensively used for 
covering trunks of trees, walls or 
pergolas. Hardy, endures shade where 
grass fails. Plant English and Boston 
Ivy together for an all year covering. 
The Boston Ivy will cling to the wall, af¬ 
fording a support for the English vari¬ 
ety, which remains green after the 
Boston Ivy has lost its foliage. 
HALL’S HONEYSUCKLE (Lonicera 
japonica halliana). A rampant ever¬ 
green climber. Native of Japan. Leaves 
dark green, densely covering the vines 
and branches. White flowers changing 
to yellow; delightfully fragrant; borne 
in abundance throughout the Summer. 
Ornamentals of this class are so hardy 
that they deserve greater attention than 
they receive. No artist can produce pic¬ 
tures equal to the wealth of beauty dis¬ 
played by the elegant Wisteria, the grace¬ 
ful Honeysuckle, or the charming and 
magnificent Clematis when in the glory 
of full bloom, and there is nothing in art 
that will in any way compare with the 
gorgeous hues of the Ampelopsis after it 
assumes its brilliant Autumn tints. 
Nothing lends such a pleasing effect to 
wall or veranda as the judicious use of 
Vines. The hardy vine is best adapted for 
covering an unsightly wall or for furnish¬ 
ing shade and ornament to verandas, and 
for sprawling over banks and walls. 
Hardy vines practically take care of 
themselves after once established, and are 
much more desirable and less trouble 
than annual or tender varieties.

KUDZU-VINE (Pueraria thunbergi-

vines in existence; unexcelled where 
quick effect is desired; leaves dark green 
of a soft woolly texture. Dark purple 
flowers produced in racemes 4 to 6 in. 
long. 
JAPANESE SPURGE (Pachysandra 
terminalis). One of the best ground 
covering plants, particularly valuable 
in shade, averaging 6 to 8 in. in height 
and branching freely into a dense mat. 
Its shapely indented foliage is practical¬ 
ly evergreen; thick, rubbery, lustrous 
dark green. Should be set 4 in. apart 
each way. 
SILVER LACE VINE (Polygonum 
auberti). This is one of the fastest 
growing and finest vines we offer. It 
makes a vigorous growth, attaining a 
height of 25 or more feet and producing 
in Summer and Fall great foamy sprays 
of white flowers. Its foliage is very clean 
and is not bothered by insects. It makes 
a beautiful showing on trellises, 
pergolas, etc. 
TRUMPET VINE (Bignonia 
radicans). Excellent, all-pur¬ 
pose vine. Large, orange scarlet, 
trumpet-shaped flowers cluster

flowers, dark green leaves, ex¬ 
ceptionally attractive. Useful as 
a ground cover under trees where 
grass fails. 
VIRGINIA CREEPER or AMER¬ 
ICAN IVY (Ampelopsis quin- 
quefolia). This well known na¬ 
tive climber is one of the best 
and quickest growing varieties 
for covering trees, trellises and 
arbors. Its large deep green foliage 
assumes brilliant shades of crim¬ 
son and scarlet in Fall. A heavy 
plant, requiring good support. 
WISTERIA. Purple. One of the 
most elegant and rapid growing 
of all climbing plants. Blooms in 
long, pendulous clusters of pale 
blue flowers through May and 
June. Our plants are extra large 
and hardy.
