HARDY CLIMBING 
VINES 
AMPELOPSIS Engelmcnni. A hardy climber that crawls 
or climbs over wood, brick and stone buildings. Leaves 
become wonderful in their rich colors in the fall. Prob¬ 
ably the best liked and most commonly used of all the 
climbing vines where a real hardy vine is needed. 
Nice plants, 25c each; 10 for $2.00 
BITTERSWEET, American. One of the hardiest climbers. 
Desirable for the large clusters of beautiful orange-red 
berries which remain all winter. Fine winter bouquets. 
Bittersweet comes in both sex plants, male and female. 
To be sure to get fruiting plants one should plant 3 or 4 
vines. Each, 50c; 4 for $1.60 
BITTERSWEET, Jopanese. A much handsomer plant than 
the American variety. Limbs are also more graceful. Fruits 
are round but a lighter yellow. Beautiful vine. 
Each, 50c; 4 for $1.60 
HONEYSUCKLE, Scarlet Trumpet. The old-fashioned 
very hardy Climbing Honeysuckle that does so well in the 
colder parts of the country. Long slender, graceful vines 
with rich glossy leaves and brilliant orange-red trumpet¬ 
like flowers. Strong, 2-year vines, 50c each; 4 for $1.60 
WISTERIA, Purple. We are quite proud of our Wisteria. 
They are all grafted with grafting wood taken from heavy 
blooming vines, which insures their blooming within a 
reasonable time after setting. Magnificent great drooping 
clusters of purple. 
3-yr., grafted, large, strong vines, $1.00 each; 2 for $1.90

Silver Lace Vine 
From Lyndhurst, Ohio, 
Sept. 18, 1938: 
“We planted two Silver 
Lace vines on each side of 
the front porch. The fine 
delicate panicles of white 
bloom have woven and 
climbed up and over the 
entire side of the upstairs 
window in just this one 
season. It is just the effect 
we wanted. And to tell you 
the truth, we were a little 
skeptical of your statement 
they would make 25 feet in 
one season. But they have 
far outdone this. One limb 
by Aug. 15 had made 35 
feet. We want two more 
next year for our garage .”
