Climbing Vi nes 
Bittersweet. A hardy climbing vine with glossy, green foliage. The 
twisting, grayish stems add a touch of individuality, but the most cher¬ 
ished feature of the vine is its long clusters of artistically arranged orange- 
red berries. One of the most popular for winter bouquets. Always plant 
three or more vines to be sure of abundant production of berries. 
Clematis. They are perfectly hardy and of rapid growth, attaining a 
height of 15 feet and blooming the greater part of the summer and fall. 
The effect produced by a well grown plant in bloom is grand. 
Jackmanni Clematis. Purple. The finest of its kind. 
Clematis, Madame Edouard Andre. Has been called the crimson Jack¬ 
manni. The plant is strong, vigorous grower; very free in bloom. Color 
a distinct crimson red. Distinct from all other varieties. 
Clematis Paniculata (Sweet Scented Japan Clematic). Of very rapid 
growth, quickly covering trellises and arbors with handsome, clean, glossy 
foliage. The flowers are of medium size, fragrant, pure white, borne in 
immense sheets in September, when very few other vines are in bloom. 
Wistaria. Rampant, non-clinging vine that has the robust vigor of a 
wild grape and the matchless beauty of the rarest exotic. 
Honeysuckle. Evergreen and everblooming, well-known for its vigor 
and hardiness. 
Inglemann’s Ivy (Ampelopsis Englemanni). A rapid growing vine of 
the Virginia Creeper family, but having characteristics of its own. Leaves 
are smaller and many more of them than those of the creeper. Foliage 
of deep green which changes to a beautiful scarlet in the fall. Will cling 
only to very rough surfaces such as pebble-dash, rough brick or stone, 
or will climb over a trellis or wire frame. 
Japanese Kudzu Vine—Jack and the Bean Stalk Vine (Pueraria) . The 
most remarkable, rapid growing, hardy perennial extant. In rich soil 
the plant will grow 70 feet in one season. Starts into growth slowly, 
but after three or four weeks it grows almost beyond belief. Leaves in 
shape like Lima Beans; dark green, soft and woolly. For porches, arbors, 
old trees, etc., I know of nothing its equal. Here in Nebraska it freezes 
to the ground over winter, but always comes up again in the spring, and 
soon it is as large as it was in the fall. 
Boston Ivy. The grandest hardy climbing vine in existence for cover¬ 
ing houses, churches, schools, etc. Its glossy ivy leaves overlap each 
other, and its long, delicate, young shoots stretch up the walls with free 
and rapid growth. The tendrils at nearly every point cling firmly to 
the smoothest surface or rock or wood. The glossy leaves assume in the 
autumn the most beautiful tints of scarlet and crimson. The handsomest 
vine possible for growth on brick walls. 
Clematis 
Roses 
“I came to the garden alone, while the dew was still on the roses” 
It is an inspiration that cannot be denied, and every home should have an abundance 
of roses, for there is no hardy plant that produces such a profusion of genuine loveliness 
and rewards the grower more liberally than does the rose. 
Of the hundreds of varieties, the kinds that we list are the hardiest and most vigorous, 
as well as the best bloomers for this territory. We recommend budded roses for longer 
life, better bloomers and stronger growers. H. P. means hybrid perpetual, H. T. hybrid tea, 
E. everbloomer. 
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
1. Prune back to three or four stems, six to 
eight inches long. 
2. Dig hole big enough to accommodate roots 
when spread out. 
3. Set rose bush a little deeper than it grew 
in nursery row. Pack dirt firmly, water well. 
4. Mound up dirt to tops of stems for about 
ten days, until plants get established. This will 
prevent stems from shriveling. 
White Roses 
White American Beauty. H. P. Flowers snow 
white, very large. Bushes extremely vigorous and 
healthy. 
Frau Karl Druschki. The buds are handsome, 
long-pointed, opening to very large pure snowy 
white cupped flowers of great substance. A very 
vigorous grower and exceptionally hardy; very free 
and continuous bloomer. 
Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria. E. H. T. The 
standard double pure white rose, which has been 
popular and in great demand for many years. 
White Cochet. H. T. One of the finest roses 
for the south. Blossoms creamy white, with blush 
tints. 
Red Roses 
General Jacqueminot. H. P. Buds and flow¬ 
ers are models of perfection, unequaled in beauty 
of form, brilliant intensity of color and elegant 
velvety richness of texture. 
General MacArthur. E. H. T. For years this 
rose has been one of the foremost of the red Hy¬ 
brid Teas for bedding. It is a most continuous 
bloomer, keeping up an array of brilliant glowing 
crimson-scarlet flowers from early in May until 
frost comes. It is deliciously scented and the 
blooms come on long stems, suitable for cutting. 
A favorite wherever grown, as it produces per¬ 
fect blooms and does well, even during the hot 
months of summer.
