VinA ( p ueraria Thunbergi-

Chinese Wistaria f ^;? rs ai ° e f 
of exceptional value, they come in large, 
grape-shaped clusters of purple, and are 
very fragrant. The vine is stout, woody, 
and branches out well over the top of an 
arbor. Under normal conditions these 
plants commence to bloom the third year 
after planting. Seedling plants some¬ 
times never bloom. I am therefore prop¬ 
agating all my Wistarias with wood from 
blooming vines in order to be sure that 
the plants will bloom when they reach 
blooming age. Two year old grafted 
plants 50c each; 3 for $1.30; postpaid.

above variety,

. - = PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS = 
Plant your Climbing Vines same as suggested under shrubs. The large flowering Clematis require a little special care In plac¬ 
ing. Be sure the roots are well spread out, and the crown bud should be about '/ 2 -mch below the surface of the soil. After the 
plant is watered to settle the soil, and the ground is leveled all around the plant it is a very good plan to put a mulch of wood 
shavings or still better of peat moss on top of the ground. This is to keep the soil cool. The large flowering Clematis wants 
cool ground for best results. Never neglect to keep the mulch around the plant at least until it is well started.
