HARDY CLIMBING VINES 



Boston Ivy (Ampelopsis) 


Silver Lace Vine 



BOSTON IVY (Ampelopsis) 
Boston Ivy (Ampelopsis Veitchii or Parthenocissus Tricus- 
pidata) is the most popular of all hardy vines to cover chim- 
neys and brick or stone walls where it clings firmly to the 
smoothest surface. The deep, glossy green leaves turn to beau- 
tiful autumn tints after the fall frosts. Grows in either sun or 
shade. Hardy in Zone 4. Heavy 2 year old plants 90c each; 
3 for $2.40 postpaid. 
BITTERSWEET (Celastrus) 
The well known Bittersweet (Celastrus Scandens) is a very 
desirable climber, not only for its outdoor ornamental value but 
for indoor winter decorations as well. The tiny blossoms are 
hidden beneath a dense mass of bright green foliage which 
gives way in the fall to myriads of bright orange-capsuled ber- 
ries that remain on the vine well-into the winter. The dried 
sprays of berries are invaluable for winter bouquets and al- 
ways find a ready market. Hardy in Zone 8. Strong 2 year old 
plants $1.00 each; 8 for $2.70 postpaid. 
EVERGREEN BITTERSWEET 
The Evergreen Bittersweet (Euonymus Vegetus) is a beauti- 
ful evergreen vine that will succeed in either sun or shade. If 
planted near a rough stone or brick wall it will cling to the 
surface but if planted in the open, it piles itself up into a low 
shrub-like growth. The glossy green foliage is thick and leath- 
ery and even in the north will remain on the vine throughout 
the winter. Bright colored berries appear in the fall and cling 
to the vine well into the winter months or until eaten by birds. iE

LARGE FLOWERED CLEMATIS 
One of the most highly prized of all the flowering vines 
because of their large colorful flowers that often measure 5 
to 6 inches across. Many people have had little success with 
Clematis because of soil conditions which can easily be rem- 
edied. They are partial to lime and should have a handful 
occasionally worked into the soil around the plants. We 
.ofer 1 year old pot plants that will bloom the second 
season. Hardy in zone 4. Shipped in spring only,

heavy fall frosts. The showy trumpet-shaped flowers are bright red 
outside and yellow inside. The reflexed petals expose both colors and 
give a pleasing two-tone effect. We believe this to be the most valuable 
climber introduced in recent years. It can also be trimmed into shrub 
form if desired. Hardy in zone 4. $1.00 each; 3 fot $2.70, postpaid. 
SILVER LACE VINE 
Silver Lace Vine (Polygonum Auberti) is one of the fastest growing 
hardy vines in existence, making a dense growth to 25 fect high, some- 
times in a single season. During late summer and fall the entire vine 
is covered with foamy sprays of white flowers. If you need a vine to 
produce quick results, Polygonum will best suit your purpose. Hardy 
in zone 4, Two year old plants, 90c each; 3 for $2.40, postpaid. 
ORANGE TRUMPET VINE | 
Very hardy and rapid grower. Used for covering unsightly places, 
stumps, or wherever a showy flowering vine is desired. Produces clus- 
ters of trumpet-shaped, orange-scarlet flowers about 3 inches long. It 
grows in poor soil and may be used as a tall 
climber; or if it is trained to a tall stake and its 
longest shoots trimmed now and then, it makes a 
good small flowering tree. Hardy in zone 4.
