Hardy Ornamental Vines 
Gardeners have always planted vines but hardly ever have they realized 
the fullest possibilities of this most useful group of plants. Practically every 
species is capable of serving dual or triple functions which makes them es- 
~ pecially valuable in gardens where space is at a premium. Where there isn’t 
room for a tree or shrubs it is always possible to choose vines that will serve 
the purpose — often with a better display of foliage, flowers or fruit. 
Where we do the planting of vines there is an additional charge 
of 30% of invoice. Minimum planting charge: $1.00. 
EVONYMUS FORTUNEI COLORATUS—Purpleleaf Wintercreeper 
Slow-growing evergreen of clinging type. Hardier, adapted to wider use than 
English Ivy. It takes time for this vine to achieve respectable size but 
when it does it’s a thing of marvelous beauty, especially in winter when 
the deep green, leathery foliage changes to gorgeous bronzy reddish-purple.
