climbing vines. 
Cardinal Climber. Picture taken August 1st. 
CARDINAL CLIMBER 
One of the finest annual climbers. Very 
graceful and beautiful, growing rapidly, it 
reaches a height of twenty feet; densely clothed 
with laciniated, rich green leaves. The numerous 
clusters of fiery scarlet, tubular spear-shaped 
flowers resemble the cypress vine, but are much 
larger, often measuring one and one-quarter 
inches across. Pkt., 7c; Vi oz., 20c; 1 oz., 35c. 
• BLACK-EYED SUSAN 
(Thunbergia)—Beautiful, rapid growing, an¬ 
nual climbers preferring a warm, sunny situa¬ 
tion; used extensively in hanging baskets, vases, 
low fences, etc.; very pretty flowers in buff, 
white, orange, etc., with dark eyes; mixed colors; 
4 feet. Pkt., 7c; % oz., 15c; Vi oz., 25c. 
• BALSAM APPLE 
A very beautiful, cut leafed, rapid growing, 
annual climbing vine, producing beautiful flow¬ 
ers, followed by seed pods bursting open and 
showing the interior, bright crimson. A very 
satisfactory climbing vine for hot, dry places 
where others will not do well. The seed grows 
readily and rapidly. Pkt., 5c; Vi oz., 15c.

Gentlemen: 
I wish you could have seen my Cardinal 
Climber last year. It entirely covered my 
porch and was just red with blooms. Every¬ 
body around here admired it so. I don’t 
think I have ever seen a prettier climber. 
Yours sincerely,

• JAPANESE MORNING GLORY 
Imperial Fancy Fringed — Exceptionally 
large flowers, beautifully fringed and ruffled, 
contains all, and many more, colors than the 
ordinary Morning Glory. Pkt., 5c; Vi oz., 15c; 
1 oz., 25c. 
• COBAEA SCANDENS 
Gup and Saucer Vine—A climber of rapid 
growth, attaining a height of as much as 30 feet 
in the season. Valuable for covering a trellis, 
arbors, trunks of trees and will cling to any 
rough place. It is covered with immense quanti¬ 
ties of bell-shaped flowers set in a saucer which 
gives the name of “cup and saucer’’ plant. Its 
foliage is very beautiful and it is one of the annual 
climbing vines with which you will be well 
pleased.

Vines will change that fence or out¬ 
building into a spot of beauty. 
Heavenly Blue Moon Flower 
MOON FLOWERS—IPOMEA 
Tender annuals of rapid growth, with beau¬ 
tiful and varied flowers; for covering old walls, 
trellises, arbors or stumps of trees they are 
invaluable; 15 to 20 feet. 
• Heavenly Blue—Clark’s Early Flowering. 
This new Moon Flower is much earlier than the 
old variety. The flowers are larger, coming into 
bloom about 60 days from the time seed is 
planted. 
The flowers are an intense deep blue, shading 
lighter toward the center. The immense flowers, 
many of them 6 inches across, completely cover 
the vine. On cool, cloudy days, unlike the old 
Moon Flower, this new strain remains open all 
day. Pkt., 8c; Vi °z., 25c; 1 oz., 45c. 
• FINEST MIXED 
A tribe of climbers, with curiously shaped fruit 
in various colors. Being of rapid growth, they are 
fine to cover old fences, trellises, stumps, etc. 
Do not plant the seed till the danger of frost is 
over, and select rich mellow ground. Tender 
annual climbers, 10 to 20 feet. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c. 
• GREEN SNAKE GOURD 
• White—Moon Flower—Satiny white flowers, 
5 to 6 inches in diameter, borne abundantly thru- 
out a long season, opening at sundown, emitting 
a rich Jessamine odor at night, and closing about 
noon. Pkt., 7c; oz., 25c. 
• JAPANESE KUDZU VINE 
PERENNIAL 
• BEAN, SCARLET RUNNER 
The well known rapid-growing annual climber, 
producing bright red flowers, from July to Sep¬ 
tember. The foliage being dense, makes it splen¬ 
did for porches or any location where shade is de¬ 
sired. Pkt., 5c; Vi lb., 15c; 1 lb., 45c. 
• WILD CUCUMBER 
The most rapid growing vine in existence. It 
will make a growth of 50 feet in a single season 
and will cover unsightly places quicker than any¬ 
thing else you can plant. It is an excellent shade 
for summer houses or to train over trellis or 
porches. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; Vi lb., 50c. 
• CYPRESS VINE 
A most beautiful vine, with delicate fern¬ 
like foliage and beautiful star-shaped rose, scar¬ 
let and white flowers. Pkt., 5c; Vi oz., 15c; 
oz., 25c. 
A most interesting novelty of recent introduc¬ 
tion. Young fruits of this gourd grow to an 
astounding length of over 10 ft. when the vines 
are twined to a lofty trellis and the fruits left 
hanging naturally. 
When the fruits are disturbed by something 
during growing period, they start to wind form¬ 
ing various fantastic forms resembling green 
snakes. Fruits are edible if cooked in early 
stage of growth and the fibre can be used as 
Dish Cloth when fully ripe. 
The seed of this new gourd is very high 
priced and we can only offer it in small 
packages of 10 seeds for 5c, or a larger 
package containing 25 seeds for 10c. 
• HYACINTH BEAN 
(Dolichos Lablar)—Makes one of the most de¬ 
sirable climbing vines, grows rapidly, produces 
clusters of beautiful flowers and then covers it¬ 
self with the bright pods. It is of rapid growth 
and often runs 30 feet in a season. Tender an¬ 
nual. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; Vi lb., 45c. 
The most remarkable climbing vine of the age 
and should be planted by everyone for dense 
shade of porches, arbors, or places where you 
wish to screen outbuildings. It comes from Ja¬ 
pan, the land of the flowers and of the most 
curious vegetable productions. 
The large purple blossoms are borne in clusters 
which completely cover the vine. It requires but 
little care and is perfectly hardy south of Yank¬ 
ton. North of there it should have some winter 
protection. Pkt., 5c; Vi oz., 15c; 1 oz., 25c. 
• JAPANESE VARIEGATED HOP 
Where an attractive climber is desired that 
will stand rough usage there is nothing better. 
The leaves are strikingly variegated; the first 
color is bright deep green, distinctly marked 
and blotched with silvery white A strong grow¬ 
er—20 to 30 feet in a few weeks’ time; not 
injured by heat or insects. Sow early in May.
