Hardy Vines and Climbers 
Much of the charm of English homes and gardens is due to the liberal use of vines. Unsightly 
buildings, raw corners, crude fences, old posts and stumps, unsightly rock piles, are all easily trans- 
: formed into points of beauty and interest when covered with a vine of some sort. The smallest 
garden affords ample opportunity for their use. No matter how small and humble a home or 
cottage may be, it is made bigger and more beautiful because the owner planted a few vines to grow 
up or over it. Many a large building, or a forbidding, cold, big house, or an ugly bridge, or an 
embankment is made beautiful when it is used as a support or a piace on which to grow vines. 
Look around in your garden, take a good look at your porch, bare walls, or back door and see if 
they would not look much better with a suitable vine growing on them. Vines soften lines and 
create beauty. The expense is small and the returns are big.

AMPELOPSIS - 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 
2¥ 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 a 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 al! 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. 
Huady Baltica and English vy 
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. 
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. 
Plants from 24-inch pots Doz. $4.50, 100 $25.00, 1000 $225.00 
BALTICA IVY—Hedera helix gracilis 
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. _ 
Plants from 2%-inch pots Doz. $4.50, 100 $25.00, 1000 $225.00

CLEMATIS - Virgin’s Bower 
Besides the large-flowered Clematis there are several varieties producing 
smaller blooms or in large panicles. All are very desirable and most useful. 
Flammula and Montana are of strong growth, but their flowers are not 
fragrant like those of the Paniculata which really is one of the loveliest 
sweet scented vines we have. 
Culture. All require a rich, light well drained soil and should be grown 
in full sun. A support should be provided for them to climb on, it is well 
to tie the vines in their early growth, trim and remove dead vines early in 
spring. Plant in fall or early spring. : 
Coccinea texensis Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
Grows 10 to 12 feet. A very handsome, hardy climber, bearing small, 
thick, bell-shaped flowers, of bright coral-red, in wonderful profusion, 
from June till frost. 
Montana rubens Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
(Anemone Clematis.) A strong, vigorous, extremely hardy variety, 
thriving under most adverse conditions. Its clustered pink flowers ex- 
pand in April and May; the best of our spring climbers. 
Paniculata Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $8.50 
This hardy climber is one of the choicest and most satisfactory climbing, 
flowering plants. Of strong, rapid growth, with small, dense, cheerful 
green foliage and pure white, deliciously fragrant flowers, in greatest 
profusion in April and September. 2-year plants. 
FOOD FOR THOUGHT 
As Well as for Your Flowers 
What your plants need is a balanced organic plant food. Not just a 
stimulant. They need one containing in right amounts, those things 
that make plenty of strong roots, produce sturdy stalks, thrifty foliage 
and an abundance of good sized blooms. 
That’s exactly the kind of Plant Food we use at Wayside. Much of 
our success in growing such unfailingly fine plants is due to it. 
What it has done, and is doing for our 600 miles of plants, it will 
do for your garden.
