Hardy Vines 
AMPELOPSIS - Boston Ivy 
Lowi (Miniature Boston Ivy) Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
The small-leaved Boston Ivy is a charming self-clinging and quickly 
climbing vine. The leaves are small, palmlike and deeply lobed, turn- 
ing into beautiful autumn tints before falling. This variety is espe- 
cially well adapted to cover house walls as well as stone gate posts or 
low walls. The close fitting short-stemmed leaves do not allow birds 
to nest. Its effect is tracery-like and does not completely cover the 
brick or stonework. It is quickly replacing the common Boston Ivy 
or Veitchi variety, because it is so much more charming. 

Veitchi 
(Boston Ivy.) The most popular climbing plant for covering brick walls, 
stone or wooden walls, trees, etc. When it becomes established it is of 
very rapid growth, and clings to the smoothest surface with the tenacity 
of Ivy. 
Strong, 3-year-old plants Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $8.50 
BIGNONIA - Trumpet Vine 
Mme. Galen Each $2.75, Three $7.75, Doz. $27.50 
The Scarlet Trumpet Vine, Bignonia Radicans, is one of the popular 
vines found growing on many fences, barns or stone walls. It has been 
discontinued by us, however, in favor of the much lovelier hybrid, 
Mme. Galen. The blooms of Mme. Galen are open, flaring flowers 
22 to 3 inches across and grow in clusters all summer long. The color 
is rich apricot, tinted orange, handsome and showy against the fine 
foliage of the plant. No insects bother it. It is clean, quick growing 
and requires no support. It will fasten itself to brick or wood. Is per- 
fectly hardy but likes a sunny location. You will never fail to admire 
its flowers throughout the summer. 
Yellow Trumpet Each $2.00, Three $5.75 
This rare Trumpet Vine with golden yellow flowers is one of the choicest 
and rarest of climbers. Its growth, habit and flowering are the same 
as of the scarlet Trumpet Vine. No insects bother it, and it thrives in 
hot, dry weather. You'll be proud to have this fine climber on a fence 
or wall. Must be grown in full sun only. 
CELASTRUS - Bittersweet or Wax Work 
Loeseneri (Chinese Bittersweet) 
Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
Surest and most prolific fruiting variety known. This new importation 
is Q rare species from Central and Western China. The clean leaves are 
glaucous green and somewhat larger than those of the common Bitter- 
sweet. It is the most prolific fruiting kind we know. In autumn, yellow 
and orange-scarlet berries cover the vine all over instead of in occasional 
small clusters as in the common Bittersweet. It’s a sure fruiter, but 
we recommend you plant two plants in one hole and take advantage 
of the resulting cross pollination, which gives still more fruit. 
EUONYMUS (See page 108) 
LONICERA - Honeysuckle 
Their climbing qualities are all that can be desired, but the fragrance 
of their flowers makes their strongest bid for favor. They are perhaps 
to the old-fashioned garden as a vine what the Hollyhocks are as a 
plant. They simply should be there somewhere. 
Goldflame Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $8.50 
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 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
An intermingling of white and yellow. Fragrant; most satisfactory. 
Sempervirens Magnifica Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
A magnificent Evergreen Honeysuckle with coral-colored blooms of 
large size and beautiful blue-aray-green foliage. The brilliant and 
and cheerful flowers are freely produced; a worth-while novelty which is 
particularly well adapted where a not too large space must be covered, 
because it does not grow as big as any of the other kinds offered. This 
variety is the most brilliantly colored of all the Honeysuckles. Hardy 
gayi nere and blooms from spring till frost. In our opinion the best of 
the lot. 
Ftardy Baltica and English Ivy 
For Ground Covering in Shade 
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 any- 
where. Gracilis is perfectly hardy and we recommend its 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. The 22-inch pot plants 
offered are very economical and especially grown for use as a ground 
cover. 
ENGLISH IVY—Hedera helix 
A lovely vine as well as a splendid ground cover. Its beautiful shiny 
leaves make a wonderful ground cover in densest shade.

Ampelopsis Veitchi—Boston Ivy 
POLYGONUM .- Silver Lace Vine 
Auberti (Silver Lace Vine) Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
One of tne 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. 
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. 
In fact, we 
Identica! 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. <

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.
