PASSIFLORA - Passion Flower 
Pfordti Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $7.50 
This curiously beautiful flower was discovered by the Spanish Con- 
quistadors in South America who, because of its strange formation, 
made it a religious symbol. The flower is creamy white and has a 
fringed crown or halo of clear blue and purple rays around the 
mysterious center. It is not quite hardy in the North, but with a 
little protection at the roots is successfully carried through the winter. 
A rare and fine vine for a sunny, warm place. We send pot plants 
about May Ist that will bloom this summer. 

POLYGONUM - Silver Lace Vine 
Auberti (Silver Lace Vine) Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $7.50 
One of the fastest growing vines in cultivation. The foliage is perfectly 
clean. No insects bother it. It has no pests and it grows 15 to 20 feet 
the first year after planting. In summer it is covered from top to toe 
with foamy sprays of white flowers. It requires a warm, sunny exposure 
and well-drained sandy soil, fairly rich. If given these conditions its 
growth is astounding. Will cling to any kind of support, and it will 
cover an unsightly building, wall or barn in two years time. Be sure and 
plant only in full sun, eastern or southern exposure. 
PUERARIA - Kudzu Vine 
Thunbergi (Jack-and-the-Beanstalk) 
Each 50c, Three $1.35, Doz. $5.00 
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. Small, pea-shaped, rosy purple 
flowers; heart-shaped leaves. Will grow anywhere. 
SCHIZOPHRAGMA HYDRANGEOIDES 
(Climbing Hydrangea) 
This perhaps is the finest and choicest of all the vines offered in our 
catalog. It is not a rampant growing plant but when established makes 
good growth each year. It is woody but clings to brick or wooden walls 
without support, and also does fine on old trees or stumps. 
Its foliage is bold, clean and shrublike, and a rich dark green color. 
Short spur branches projecting from the wall are topped with white fragrant 
Hydrangea-like blooms throughout the summer. The effect created is most 
artistic. 
Last, but not least, it does equally well in shade or sun. In fact, we 
recommend the Climbing Hydrangea for north, west walls or such places 
where shade is dense in summer. If you own one of these vines you will 
have something you will admire all your life. The height can be easily con- 
trolled from 10 to 20 feet. ‘ :
