HARDY VINES

_ 
The hardy vines are a great boon to home-makers because the rapidity 
of their growth will in one season do much to overcome that appearance 
of “newness” so painfully evident in a newly built settlement; and 
long before trees and shrubs have become well established, will 
transform the general effect into one of homely comfort and 
affectionate care. They have done more to cover and conceal the 
unsightly evidences of man’s stupidity, coarseness or neglect, 
and to beautify inharmonious natural environments, than 
any other class of things that grow. 
AMPELOPSIS Eng-elmanni. Similar to Veitchi 
except that the leaves are much smaller, and 
more densely set. 
2-year, 35c each; 6 for $1.80. 
CLEMATIS 
Clematis thrive in well draiaed 
(but frequently moistened) light 
loam enriched by well-rotted ma¬ 
nure. Spread roots horizontally, 
the crown 3 inches below surface. 
Full sunshine best. 
CLEMATIS—Large Flowering: 
—Henryi. Creamy white. 
—Jackmani. Velvety violet. 
-—Mme. Ed. Andre. Crimson-red.

Comtesse de Bouchaud. Satiny crimpled petals, tender lilac-pink 
margins, the interior streamed with softest yellow.

warm lilac-rose stained burgundy. 
Ville de Lyon. Brilliant carmine-red with darker center. 
$1.25 each; or the 4 for $4.50—postpaid. 
Boston Ivy —Ampelopsis Veitchi 
—Quinquefolia (American Ivy, Virginia Creep¬ 
er, etc.). Deeply cut leaves turn to crimson in 
fall; fine for covering trees, fences, rocky 
slopes, etc. 2-year, 35c each; 6 for $1.80. 
Veitchi (Boston Ivy). The finest hardy climber 
—— for covering walls, as it clings firmly to 
the smoothest surface, covering closely with 
over-lapping foliage like shingles ; a deep green 
in summer, changing to crimson-red. It is 
this stately vine which with its dense coverage 
of restful green, mellows the walls of old 
churches, and square-cut, sombre public build¬ 
ings. The first year, it is mainly concerned 
with establishing roots ; the next, it shoots up 
amazingly. 
2-year, each 40c; 6 for $2.10 ; 25 for $7.50. 
Bignonia— 
Trumpet Flower 
BIGNONIA Radicans 
(Trumpet Flower). A ro¬ 
bust, woody fern-leaf vine; 
twining tightly with num¬ 
erous roots along its stems. 
Large trumpet - shaped 
orange-scarlet flowers clus¬ 
ter at the tips of branches.

2 yr.|$0.35|$1.00|$1.80 
BITTERSWEET (Celas- 
trus Scandens). Glossy 
foliage and large clusters 
of beautiful orange-crimson 
fruits retained all winter. 
Its graceful sprays of ber¬ 
ries make charming winter 
house decorations. 
2-year, 50c each; 3 for 
$1.35; 6 for $2.50.
