VIRGINIA CREEPER or AMERICAN IVY (Quinquefo- 
Iia). A hardy, rapid climber, with large, five-lobed leaves

west. 
BOSTON IVY (Veitchi). It is a splendid plant for cov¬

surfaces. The foliage is a bright glossy green, changing to 
bright tints of scarlet, crimson, and orange. Kills back 
some in cold, severe winters. 
CLEMATIS 
This family of plants is noted for its rapid, 
slender growth, delicate foliage and profusion of 
bloom through the summer. They do best in 
rich soil, and where they can have plenty of sun.

in this section.

ering unsightly banks. It has inconspicuous purple blos¬ 
soms in June, followed by enormous quantities of brilliant 
red berries in the fall that hang into the winter. Hardy. 
SILVER LACE VINE 
Polygonum Auberti 
The name gives a very good description of the beautiful 
lacy appearance of this late blooming vine. It is covered 
with a foamy spray of delicate white flowers which appear 
late in the summer and usually last until frost. A strong 
grower and 2 plants will provide a good start in covering 
an ordinary porch the first year. The vine often grows as 
much as 2 5 feet in one season. Hardy and satisfactory if 
covered—if not covered will winter-kill. Cut off in fall to 
12 inches above ground and cover with hay or leaves.

ing sight when covered with its

CHINESE PURPLE WISTERIA (Sinensis). Most elegant 
and rapid growing of all climbing plants; attains immense 
size; has long, pendulous clusters of pale blue flowers in 
June. Our pints are grafted with wood taken from

plants not grafted. 
McKAY’S Hardy Climbing Vines 
Vines are the lace and frills of nature’s dress. 
They beautify barren walls and, fences; they 
soften the hard architecture of buildings. They 
will quickly drape themselves over a trellis or 
arbor, providing beauty of leaf and flower as 
well as cooling and refreshing shade. There is a 
vine for every purpose.
