-i—i- A distinctive and very de¬ 
sirable medium size shrub not yet in gen¬ 
eral use; of graceful, open, airy habit.

like stars; creating a charming effect of 
informality with their different facings 
around the bush. From July till early 
frosts, there is a fairly continuous dis¬ 
play of beautiful, large, distended, upright 
panicles in clusters; the color a rich shade 
of lavender-blue.

HARDY VINES 
However, We will Pay Postage on 
AH Vines at Each Price. 
Bignonia— 
Trumpet Flower 
The hardy vines are a great boon to home-makers because the rapidity 
of their growth will in one season do much to overcome that appearance 
of “newness” so painfully evident in a newly built settlement; and 
long before trees and shrubs have become well established, will 
transform the general effect into one of homely comfort and 
affectionate care. They have done more to cover and conceal the 
unsightly evidences of man’s stupidity, coarseness or neglect, 
and to beautify inharmonious natural environments, than 
any other class of things that grow. 
AMPELOFSIS Eng-elmanni. Similar to Veitchi 
except that the leaves are much smaller, and 
more densely set. 
2-year, 40c each ; 6 for $2.10. 
—Quinquefolia (American Ivy, Virginia Creep¬ 
er, etc.). Deeply cut leaves turn to crimson in 
fall; fine for covering trees, fences, rocky 
slopes, etc. 2-year, 40c each; 6 for $2.10. 
AMPELOFSIS Veitchi 
(Boston Ivy). The finest hardy 
climber for covering walls, as it 
clings firmly to the smoothest 
surface, covering closely with 
overlapping foliage-like shingles ; 
a deep green in summer, chang¬ 
ing to crimson. 2-year, each, 40c ; 
6 for $2.10; 25 for $7.50. 
BIGrNONIA radicans (Trumpet 
Flower). A robust, woody fern- 
leaf vine; twining tightly with 
numerous roots along its stems.

scarlet flowers cluster at the tips 
of branches. 
2 yr., 35c each; 6 for $1.80.

clusters of beautiful orange-crimson fruits retained all winter. Its grace¬ 
ful sprays of berries make charming winter house decorations.

coral-red, recurring from June until frost. Least vigorous vining.
