Climbers and Trailers 
Climbing plants are indispensable for many ornamental uses, and are decidedly useful in nearly all of our 
garden operations. Some varieties are especially desirable for the beauty of their flowers; others for attractive 
foliage. They are easily cultivated, but must have proper care and attention in the matter of training. Possibly 
no Climbers offer greater possibilities as ornaments than Clematis Panieulata, Rhynchospermum and Wistaria; 
while Bignonias, Climbing Roses and Eheagnus are very useful for trellised hedges. Our Climbers are carefully 
grown and properly pruned, and are unusually vigorous. Nearly all in the lists are hardy in the North. 
Prices for special collection, 10 strong plants, in 10 varieties, our selection, $2.00; $15.00 per 100.
