SEEDS OF HARDY CLIMBERS. 
AMPELOPSIS QUINQUEFOLIA. 
BIGNONIA KADICANS. 
CLEMA riS. 
There arc few plants of more value to the gardener 
than the Hardy or Perennial Climbers. Once planted 
they remain, and get larger and better every season. 
The Virginia Creeper, a native of our woods and waste 
places, is known and prized almost all over the world. 
These plants are mostly obtained by purchasing roots, 
CELASTRUS SCANDENS. 
and this is the better way, where they can be readily 
obtained, because coming much sooner to perfection. 
There are some, however, who cannot get plants very 
well, and must be content with seeds or nothing. For¬ 
tunately our mail and Express facilities are now so good 
that plants can be sent with safety to almost every ham¬ 
let. Others wish to grow a good many plants, so we 
always keep seeds of the most popular kinds for sale, as 
well as plants. Sow in well prepared beds, either in 
the autumn or very early in the spring, in drills, and 
keep the soil mellow and free from weeds. The 
following are Perennial Climbers, and all useful for 
covering Arbors, Porches, etc. They arc hardy r.:.d 
hard-wooded. These hardy climbers are invaluable for 
covering arbors, old stumps, trees, &c., and should be 
used freely. The general cultivation of the simple Vir¬ 
ginia Creeper has done more to beautify American vil¬ 
lages and rural homes than any fifty plants in existence. 
It is the American Ivy, and well performs the work done 
by the old English Ivy in Europe. For prices of roots 
see Plant Department.
