HARDY VINES AND CLIMBERS 
Ampelopsis Veitchii 
(Boston Ivy) —This is one of the finest climbers we know for cov¬ 
ering walls, as it clings firmly to the smoothest surface, covering it 
with overlapping leaves, which form a perfect mass of foliage. 2'/v* 
inch pots, for lining out, dozen, 50c; hundred, $3.00. Field-grown 
plants, size 18 to 24 inches, $1.50 per dozen; $12.00 per hundred. 
Aristolochia Sipho—Dutchman’s Pipe 
A very rapid growing hardy climber. The flowers are long and 
shaped like an old Dutch pipe. An old-time favorite. Extra strong 
plants, three to four feet long, well stooled, $3.50 per dozen; $25.00 
per hundred. 
Clematis Paniculata 
(Japanese Virgin’s Bower) —One of the most beautiful of our hardy 
flowering vines. The flowers are pure white, and are borne in large 
panicles or clusters of bloom, fairly covering the plant, so that it 
is a mass or sheet of fleecy-white. 2' / 4-inch pots, 60c per dozen; 
$4.00 per hundred; $35.00 per thousand. 
Large=FIowering Clematis 
Strong two-year-old imported pot-grown plants. These are much su¬ 
perior to field-grown roots, as the fatality after planting that occurs 
in field-grown roots does not occur with pot-grown Clematis. Price 
for strong two-year roots, 25c each; $2.00 per doz; $15.00 per 100. 
DUCHESS OF EDINBURG— This is without doubt the best of the 
double whites. Very free flowering, very fragrant.

with a rich velvety appearance and distinctly veined. The best. 
BANGHOLM BELLE —Flowers are large, 6 to 9 inches in diameter. 
Pure white. One of the best. 
VILLE DE LYON —This beautiful Clematis is much sought after, 
but is very scarce. The color is a bright rosy-red, entirely dis¬ 
tinct from any other sort. A grand variety. 
SIEBOLDII—Lovely shade of lavender. Very beautiful; distinct. 
Clematis Panioulata.
