the Northwest 
Virginia Creeper 
American Ivy—Woodbine 
This vine is, without doubt, the very best and 
most hardy variety for this section. Everywhere 
it has been planted it has succeeded wonder¬ 
fully. It produces masses of rich, dark green 
foliage, deeply cut, which assumes brilliant 
shades of yellow, crimson and scarlet in the 
Fall. It is the ideal Vine for covering fences, 
walls, trees, rocky slopes, etc. Our stocks are 
clean, hardy and of sturdy growth and we feel 
safe in saying, are some of the finest in the 
country. 
One-year-old Vines, each, 35c; .3 for 95c. Two- 
aud 3-year-old Vines, each, 75c; 3 for $2.00. 
Humulus—Hop Vine 
For quickness in covering residence fences, 
arbors, etc., the Hop Root leads. The peculiar 
shades of its foliage, extreme hardiness and 
quick growth make it a very desirable Vine. 
3 for 75c; 6 for $1.40; dox., .$2.50. 
Clematis 
One of the most popular of all trailing Vines. 
When in bloom the dense sheets of blossoms, 
with their most pleasing fragrance, give a 
beauty indescribable. 
To obtain good results they must have rich 
soil, perfect drainage and an abundance of 
water, and most important of all, they must be 
planted with the crowns about 3 inches beneath 
the surface of the soil. 
Heretofore it has been difficult for many to 
transplant these plants with success, so this 
season we are again featuring large pot-grown 
stock of A-1 quality which will come with a ball 
of earth and are sure to give satisfaction.
