Ornamental Vines 
(See also Grape "Vines on page 70) 
VIRGINIA CREEPER or WOODBINE. Also called five-leaved ivy. One of the 
most popular and most valuable vines with handsome foliage, and blue berries 
in the late Summer. The deep red which it takes on in the Fall is especially 
striking. Each, 30e; 10, §2.75. Postpaid, each, 35c. 
CHINESE MATRIMONY VINE. Useful both as a vine or shrub. Not a good 
climber, but excellent to trail on walls, terraces, etc. A fast growing woody 
plant with drooping or trailing branches. Has lavender blossoms early and 
good sized ornamental red fruit which persists into Winter. Each, 20 c; 10, 
$1.50. Postpaid, each, 25c; 10, $1.75. 
PIRPLE FLOWERED JACKDIANII CLEMATIS. This is one of the less hardy 
large flowered type which produces a dense mass of purple in midsummer. 
Trial has demonstrated that it will thrive here with winter protection. Each, 
75c; 6, $4.20. 
CLEMATIS or VIRGIN’S BOWER. With its star-like white flowers and feathery 
seed heads this native is one of the handsomest of all climbers. It attains a 
new growth of 8 to 10 feet each year, 
but part of the old growth dies off. 
Each, 30e; 10, $2.50. Postpaid, each, 35c. 
ENGELMANN'S CREEPER (Amp< Eng;el _ 
lnanni), A type of Virginia Creeper, but 
having shorter joints and much smaller and thicker leaves. Its 
strongest feature is its ability to cling to brick, stone or plaster. 
This makes it valuable in covering walls and large buildings. It 
is quite hardy but we advise planting it in partially sheltered 
places. Each, 35c; 10, $3.00. Postpaid, each, 40c. 
NATIVE HOP VINE. This vine is very similar in appearance to 
the cultivated sort but is hardier. A perennial root with new 
growth each year, which attains a length of 16 feet or more. A 
handsome, thick-growing vine that will thrive in almost any 
soil and under any condition. Each, 25c; 10, $2.00. Postpaid, 
each, 30c. 
BII TER SWEET (Celastrus seandens). A very ornamental and 
absolutely hardy native climber. It produces orange-yellow 
flowers followed by showy crimson fruits in Autumn. The leaves 
are dense and glossy. Each, 35c; 10, $3.00. Postpaid, each, 40c.

Hardy Roses 
Prairie Rose 
■■ *■ ' T.*-*n*?'*r 
Few Roses are suited to the climate of the Northwest and nearly all re¬ 
quire some Winter protection. Of those we list, Rosa Pratincola, Harrison’s 
Yellow, Rosa Rubrifolia, Betty Bland, and Scotch are entirely hardy with¬ 
out covering. The Rugosa and its hybrids will kill back a trifle in severe 
Winters, but are generally hardy; all others should be cut back in the Fall 
and well covered, preferably with soil banked up, but at least with straw or 
manure. Add klc to price of Single Rose if ordered postpaid. 
PRAIRIE ROSE (Rosa pratincola). Grown by us from seed. The North 
Dakota State Flower and the hardiest and prettiest of the several wild 
Roses of the Northwest. Never grows taller than 2 to 3 feet and assumes 
a symmetrical bush shape which makes it ideal for low division lines. 
The" large, single, pink blooms are followed by bright scarlet berries of 
size. .Each, 35c; 10 for $3.00. 
BETTY BLAND, a fine new and extremely hardy pink bush rose from Canada. Quite a sensation in 
the Northwest as a perfectly hardy pink rose in a class with Harrison’s Yellow, though not quite so 
tall. We have been trying to get a stock of the Betty Bland for several years and consider ourselves 
If be the first to offer it in the United States. Price, each, 90c; 5 for $4.25. 
HARRISON S YELLOW. The most popular bush rose in the Northwest, owing to its great hardiness, its 
sure blooming and the beauty of the thousands of little double yellow 
roses with which it covers itself every June. A briar type which gets to 
^ . Each, GO<• ’ 5 for $2.75. 
CRIMSON BAB) RAMBLER (Dwarf Polyantha). Flowers similar to those 
of the climbers but plant forms a dwarf bush excellent for bed and as a 
pot plant. Blooms continuously throughout the Summer and flowers are 
a brilliant crimson in color. Each, 50c; 5 for $2.25. 
CRIMSON RAMBLER (Climber). The Crimson Rambler is the hardiest of 
the climbers and will survive if laid down and covered with earth throvigh 
the Winter. Grows 8 feet or more per year and in June is a mass of bril- 
n A^i lt -o ( t I: rU n3 W ^lp§ soms in dense clusters. Each, 50c; 5 for $2.25. 
ROSA RLBRIFOLIA. This is a perfectly hardy rose especially notable for 
the color of its stems and leaves, which is a bronze red. It is of particular 
value as a hedge plant and as a color relief in mixed plantings. Each, 45e; 
5 for $2.00. 
SCOTCH ROSE, (gpinosissima). This 
is a very hardy and very heavy 
bearing rose which has been 
grown over the Northwest for 
many years under many names. A 
bush rose which blooms in late 
June and July, and in its compact 
and thrifty appearance is an orna¬ 
ment at all seasons. Each, 75c; 
5 for $3.50. 
RUGOSA HYBRIDS 
AMELIA GRAVEREAUX (Hybrid 
Rugosa). One of the most handsome hybrids. The color is a 
rather brighter red than Hansa and the flowers, though smaller, 
are better formed and resemble the Tea Roses more. Very fra¬ 
grant, medium hardy. Each, 50c; 5 for $2.25. 
SIR THOS. LIPTON (Hybrid Rugosa). This is one of the hardiest 
of the white Rugosa hybrids and one of the very best as to size
