CLEMATIS HYBRIDA Mrs. Robert Bryden 
(Patent applied for.) By crossing the lovely sweet scented, 
deep blue, bushy or dwarf Clematis Davidiana with a very 
strong and robust growing native American variety, we ob¬ 
tained a beautiful climber which grows about 8 to 10 feet high. 
The top of this vine is covered with billowy masses of pale 
watery blue flowers at their best in August and September. It 
is perfect for covering fences, trellises and pergolas. Being 
absolutely hardy, it can be used anywhere. Is entirely free from 
insect pests, is always neat because the past season’s growth 
should be partly removed each fall, leaving about 3 feet, not 
more. Easy to grow. Ordinary garden soil will do. 
Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00. 
CLEMATIS - Large Flowering English Hybrids 
No other climbing plant equals in attractiveness the beautiful 
large-flowering Clematis. Their requirements are somewhat differ¬ 
ent from most other plants, and proper conditions must be given 
to secure satisfactory results. 
Culture. They need a rich, deep, well-drained soil; in fact, drain¬ 
age should be perfect and the soil should be prepared at least 2 feet 
deep, using plenty of sharp sand and well-rotted manure. The 
roots must be sent straight down, the whole plant must be deeply 
set, the crown should be not less than 3 inches beneath the surface 
of the soil. Provide support and protect the runners produced the 
first year from frost with straw or small piece of burlap. No pro¬ 
tection required after first winter. 
Ascotiensis Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
Pure blue. One of the finest large flowered forms. 
Contesse de Bouchard Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00

riety.

summer.

ENGLISH IVY - Hedera 
The famous English Ivy with its familiar evergreen, glossy 
foliage; requires winter protection in cold sections of the country 
where it is exposed to chilly winds on open walls. It can, however, 
be planted with perfect safety as a ground cover or as an edging 
to flower beds anywhere. Gracilis is perfectly hardy and we recom¬ 
mend both for use on the north side and west side of buildings 
and walls or in shady places or as a ground cover under trees in 
dense shade. 
Hedera Helix 5-inch pots, Each $0.40, Doz. $3.50, 100, $25.00 
(Hardy English Ivy.) A lovely vine as well as a splendid 
ground cover. 
Hedera Gracilis 5-inch pots, sold out for fall 1939 
(Hardy Baltica Ivy.) Identical in habit with the English Ivy, 
but with foliage not as large and more cut; a most graceful 
vine; perfectly hardy and a splendid evergreen vine on walls 
with north or west exposures; also an excellent ground cover. 
Strong plants, about 30 inches high. 
Hedera Helix. 214-inch pot plants for ground covers. 
Doz. $1.50, 100 $9.00, 1000 $75.00

HARDY JASMINE - Jasminum 
Nudiflorum Each $0.25, Doz. $2.50 
A favorite climber for a sheltered position. Has beautiful fra¬ 
grant yellow flowers in early spring. Hardy south of Phila¬ 
delphia, needing protection farther north. Plant in spring 
only. Does well in ordinary good garden soil. 
LONICERA - Honeysuckle 
Their climbing qualities are all that can be desired, but the fra¬ 
grance of their flowers makes their strongest bid for favor. They 
are perhaps to the old-fashioned garden as a vine what the Holly¬ 
hocks are as a plant. They simply should be there somewhere. 
Goldflame Each $0.50, Doz. $4.75 
Immense, showy clusters of trumpet-shaped buds and fragrant 
blooms. The outside of the petals is brilliant flame-pink, the 
inside a creamy golden yellow. Dark glossy foliage adds to 
its charm. The plants can be sheared to form a hedge or 
allowed to grow naturally as a vine or shrub. Bloom freely 
from early spring until heavy frost. 
Halliana Each $0.30, Doz. $2.75 
An intermingling of white and yellow. Fragrant; most satis¬ 
factory. 
Sempervirens magnifica Each $0.40, Doz. $4.00 
A magnificent new Honeysuckle with coral-colored blooms of 
large size and beautiful blue-gray-green foliage. The brilliant 
and cheerful flowers freely produced; a worth-while novelty. 
Tellmanniana Each $0.35, Doz. $3.50 
(Golden Giant Honeysuckle.) A lovely, fast-growing vine and 
a great improvement over the common Honeysuckle. The 
leaves are clean, giving a very ornamental effect. The long 
tubular blooms, which are produced in large-sized clusters, 
are golden in color and exceedingly fragrant. A fine climber 
for shady or sunny porches or trellises. Its clean, rich foliage 
and fine habit easily make it the most desirable Honeysuckle. 
POLYGONUM - Silver Lace Vine 
One of the fastest growing vines offered; foliage perfectly clean, 
never bothered by insects or other pests. In fall a sea of foam-like 
white flowers. 
Auberti Each $0.40, Doz. $4.00, 100 $25.00 
A splendid hardy climber of strong, vigorous growth, attaining 
a height of 25 or more feet, producing in summer and fall 
great foamy sprays of white flowers, and a well-balanced plant 
during its long period of flowering is a mass of bloom. 
PUERARIA - Kudzu Vine 
The most rapid growing vine in cultivation, often attaining a 
growth of 40 feet in a single season. Especially desirable for 
immediate effect for dense shade, as its leaves are large. 
Thunbergi Each $0.30, Doz. $2.25, 100 $12.00 
(Jack-and-the-Beanstalk.) Small, pea-shaped, rosv purple flow¬ 
ers, heartshaped leaves. Will grow anywhere. 
SCHIZOPHRAGMA HYDRANGEOIDES 
(Climbing Hydrangea). Fine plants in pots. Each $0.75, Doz. $7.50 
One of the finest and most artistic vines in existence and ex¬ 
tremely rare. Foliage large and bold, it clings to walls or other 
support. Flowers in large, flat clusters, studded with large, 
flaky, sterile blooms which are very showy and fragrant. 
WISTERIA 
There is a much wider range of varieties than is generally 
thought. Descriptions below are condensed because the species to 
which each variety belongs covers the major points. The two im¬ 
portant species are: Wisteria Sinensis, the Chinese Wisteria, char¬ 
acterized by large fragrant flowers in compact clusters of medium 
length. They come into bloom very young and all the flowers in 
each cluster open at about the same time before any leaves appear. 
Wisteria Floribunda, which is better known as Wisteria Multijuga 
or Japanese Wisteria, has long slender racemes of smaller flowers. 
Those at top are fully open while the lower ones are only small 
unopened buds. This of course lengthens the blooming period 
until the leaves are pretty well out. All our stock is grafted and 
grown in a special manner to induce early bloom rather than a lot 
of useless wood. Seedlings or plants improperly propagated may 
go eight or ten years without ever producing a flower. We main¬ 
tain that if wood is the main thing wanted, it is more economical 
to patronize a lumber yard than a nursery. 
All our Wisterias have flowered in the nursery before they are sold. 
Floribunda, “Issai” Each $2.25 
A very fine thing, entirely distinct and having many excellent 
qualities. Flowers have much deeper color than common Japa¬ 
nese and are borne very profusely. It is also decidedly pre¬ 
cocious, coming into bloom very young. The short silky seed 
pods hang on all winter if not cut off, and are quite orna¬ 
mental. 
Floribunda, “Kyushaku” Each $2.00 
The Japanese name means “nine feet.” Of course that is an 
exaggeration but flower clusters are supposed to attain three 
to four feet on old vines. 
Floribunda alba Each $2.00 
White Japanese Wisteria. Last of all to flower and very pro¬ 
fuse bloomer. Snow white. 
Floribunda longissima Each $2.00 
Extra long clustered Wisteria. Lavender-blue. We have actu¬ 
ally measured clusters well over four feet long and there is 
dependable record of old vines producing occasional clusters 
fully 6 feet long! If the longest possible clusters are wanted, 
fertilize heavily in autumn after the leaves have fallen, but 
not in spring or during the growing season. 
Floribunda rosea Each $2.00 
Pink Wisteria. This is the finest Pink Wisteria we have ever 
seen. Clusters about 15 to 18 inches long. Slow to commence 
flowering but once started it blooms profusely. All plants have 
already bloomed in the nursery. 
Floribunda violacea plena Each $2.00 
Double Violet Wisteria. The only double Wisteria known in 
this country and has the darkest colored flowers of all. They 
are exactly like dark colored purple Violets borne in clusters 
about 15 to 18 inches long. Very free bloomer. 
Sinensis (Chinese Wisteria) Each $1.25 
This is the old favorite called Chinese Purple, but really lav¬ 
ender shaded blue. 
Sinensis alba (White Chinese Wisteria) Each $1.25 
Has white fragrant flowers. 
Geisha Each $2.75 
A very dainty variety. The cluster as well as the individual 
flowers are smaller than usual. The effect is delightful and 
charming. Color a clear light lavender; very free flowering. 
Longissima alba Each $2.75 
A perfect beautiful pure white form of the above variety. 
Mrs. McCullogh Each $2.75 
A rare and beautiful variety. The flowers are large, of a rich 
purple color and grow in compact clusters. The growth of 
the wood is short and jointed, making this a good kind where 
space is limited. 
Boyal Purple Each $2.75 
Brilliant colored, good sized clusters of royal purple; flowers 
are freely produced, making this one of the fine and outstand¬ 
ing varieties.
