Hardy Ornamental 
Climbing Vines 
A home planting is seldom complete without at least a 
few ornamental vines. They add a certain charm and grace 
not obtained from any other source. Vines keep the home 
cool in summer and furnish protection and shade to the 
porch, arbor, and pergola. All varieties described below are 
hardy and easy to grow, and require practically no care or 
attention after planting. They will all thrive in both sunny 
and shady places. 
Clematis - Large Flowering 
No other climbing plant equals in attractiveness the beau¬ 
tiful large-flowering Clematis. Their requirements are some¬ 
what different from most other plants, and proper conditions 
must be given to secure satisfactory results. 
CULTURE—They need a rich, deep well drained soil; in 
fact, drainage should be perfect and the soil should be pre¬ 
pared at least two feet deep, using plenty of sharp sand 
and well-rotted manure. The roots must be set straight 
down, the whole plant must be deeply set, the crowns 
should be not less than three inches beneath the surface 
of the soil. Provide support and protect the runners 
produced the first year from frost with straw or small 
piece of burlap. No protection required after first winter. 
HENRYI—Lovely, large creamy white flowers in great 
quantities all summer. Each 73c; 3 for $1.97. 
Clematis Jackmani 
JACKMANI—The popular purple variety with large, pur¬ 
ple-blue flowers; one of the loveliest vines we have. Each 74c; 3 for $1.98. 
MME. VILLARD—Bright carmine blossoms in great quantities; looks 
very well on a white background. Each 74c; 3 for $1.98. 
RAMONA —Single, pale blue flowers completely cover this plant; it is a 
very lovely vine not used nearly enough. Each 74c; 3 for $1.98. 
BOSTON IVY—It is a rapid grower and clings to brick or stone walls 
without artificial fastening. The foliage is handsome dark green, chang¬ 
ing to crimson and yellow in the Autumn. One of the finest climbers 
we have for covering walls as it clings firmly to the smoothest surface, 
covering it closely with overlapping foliage, giving it the appearance of 
being shingled with green leaves. Price, strong 2-yr. selected plants 55c 
each, 3 for $1.25. 
BITTERSWEET—Handsome glossy foliage and large clusters of beauti¬ 
ful, orange-crimson fruit retained all winter. Its graceful sprays of ber¬ 
ries make charming, winter house decoration. Price, strong, 2-yr. vines, 
48c each; 3 for $1.25. 
HALL’S JAPAN HONEYSUCKLE—One of the most popular of all the 
climbing vines, which in addition to its ordinary uses as a climber is 
valuable for covering banks, bare spaces, etc., where grass will not grow. 
Flowers white, changing to yellow. Very fragrant and in bloom the 
whole season. Price, 28c each; 6 for $1.00; 12 for $1.68. 
DUTCHMAN’S PIPE—A very rapid growing vine, which on account of 
its very large heart shaped leaves is desirable when dense shade is re¬ 
quired. Obtains its name from its peculiar brownish flowers resem¬ 
bling in shape a miniature pipe. Nothing more beautiful or attractive 
for porches. Large 2-yr. vines, 59c each; 3 for $1.48. 
CLEMATIS PANICULATA—Rapid grower, covering trellises and arbors 
with handsome, clean, glossy foliage. Flowers are of medium size, fra¬ 
grant, pure white, borne in immense sheets in August and September 
when very few other vines are in bloom. Price, strong 2-yr. old vines, 
55c each; 3 for $1.25. 
POLYGINUM AUBRETI (Silver Lace Vine)—A quick-growing type of 
twining habit averaging 25 feet in a season. The small, cordate foliage 
is fresh and shiny, although the base of stalk becomes somewhat woody. 
Produces more bloom than any other hardy vine, covering a season ex¬ 
tending from late summer into the fall with an extravagance of large, 
foamy sprays in silvery white. 2-yr. plants, 86c each; 3 for $2.00.
