Gentlemen: 
I want to take this opportunity 
to write you a note of thanks and 
appreciation for the co-operative 
and intelligent way you have 
worked with us in the planting of 
our Museum grounds. 
The success which we had with 
our terrace planting is very largely 
due to the freedom in experi¬ 
mentation, the use of splendid 
specimens, and the unusual life 
and growth of all specimens plant¬ 
ed. It is a pleasure to do business 
with you. Your prompt deliveries, 
and the quality of the goods sent 
to us on your own selections, is, 
from our point of view, a highly 
satisfactory experience. 
Gratefully yours, 
J. Arthur MacLean, Curator

GREENING’S ORNAMENTAL CLIMBING VINES 
They are Mother Nature’s favorite children! Their foliase alone is beautiful, decorative, 
and so many are endowed with gorseous flowers and intoxicating perfume that bring the 
swooping blue-jay, the dainty humming-bird and many other friends of the air to adorn 
the home and garden. Bare walls, stately pillars, exposed porches, brick and stone, all 
take added beauty and value when graced by vines. 
Akebia 
A. QUINATA (Five Leaf Akebia)— A beautiful 
hardy Japanese vine with unique foliage and 
chocolate-purple flowers of delightful fragrance 
in large clusters. The foliage is never attacked 
by insects. 
Ampelopsis 
A. QUINQUEFOLIA (Virginia Creeper) —Rich 
crimson in Autumn; a very rapid grower. Cover¬ 
ing for walls and verandas, trunks of trees. 
A. QUINQUEFOLIA ENGELMANNI (Engel- 
mann Creeper) —This variety has become very 
popular on account of its ability to cling to 
walls, etc., without wire trellis. 
A. TRICUSPIDATA (Boston Ivy)— A beautiful 
hardy Japanese species. One of the finest 
climbers for covering walls, as it clings firmly 
to the smoothest surface, covering it evenly with 
overlapping leaves which form a perfect mass of 
foliage. The color is a fresh deep green in 
Summer, changing to bright shades of crimson 
and yellow in Autumn. 
Celastrus 
C. SCANDENS (American Bittersweet) —A 
native climber with handsome, glossy green 
foliage and large clusters of beautiful orange- 
crimson fruits, retained all Winter. Very bright 
in effect and its graceful sprays of berries are 
charming for Winter house decoration. 
C. QRBICULATUS (Qriental Bittersweet)— Bril¬ 
liant red fruit in Autumn. 
Clematis 
C. HENRYI (Winter Clematis) —Very large, fine 
form; free grower and bloomer; creamy white. 
C. JACKMANI (Jackman Clematis) —Large, in¬ 
tense violet-purple; remarkable for its velvety 
richness; free in growth and an abundant and 
successive bloomer. 
C. MADAME EDQUARD ANDRE— Has been 
called the Crimson Jackmani. The plant is a 
strong, vigorous grower and very free in bloom.
