BITTERSWEET— 
Native climber, with handsome, glossy 
foilage. The flowers are not conspicuous, 
but the chief glory of the vine consists of 
the large clusters of beautiful, orange-crim- 
son fruits, in quaint yellow husks, retained 
all winter. Bright in effect, its graceful 
sprays of berries are charming for winter 
house-decorations, and are used for drap- 
ing doorways, mantels, and pictures. 2 yr. 
50c. 
BOSTON IVY— 
Used generally to cover walls, its fine 
shoots extending to the roofs of tall build- 
ings. In the fall the leaves assume the 
most gorgeous and varied tints. The young 
leaves are quite distinct from those which 
are of older growth. The vine can be made 
to cling even to wood. The young plants 
require some covering in winter for a year 
or more. Not altogether hardy in Minne- 
sota. 3 yr., $1.00. 
ENGELMAN’S IVY— 
This variety is a rapid grower, has beauti- 
ful dark green foliage, and in the fall gives 
a beautiful autumn effect, the leaves chang- 
ing to almost crimson. It is used to great 
advantage on churches and large buildings 
of all kinds, to soften the hard stone and 
brick effects. 2 yr., 50c. 
SCARLET TRUMPET HONEYSUCKLE— 
Hardiest and most generally used variety. 
This bears during the summer clusters of 
scarlet, tubular flowers and is one of the 
freest and best varieties. Handsome in 
foilage and fruit. 2 yr., 50c. 
GOLDFLAME HONEYSUCKLE— 
The large flame-coral trumpets lined with 
gold, fragrant after nightfall, appear in im- 
mense showy clusters the same year the 
plant is set out. Reaching its full glory 
of bloom in early summer, it nevertheless 
flowers abundantly from May until frost. 
The dark, blue-green foliage is attractive in 
itself and makes a perfect background for 
the brilliance of the flowers. Hardy in all 
parts of the country. Allowed to grow 
naturally Goldflame will climb a trellis or 
spread as a ground cover; if pruned it be- 
comes a striking specimen shrub. 2 yn, 
$1.00.

Hardy Bush Roses 
PERSIAN YELLOW— 
Is perhaps the best known and most com- 
mon June bloomer. 5 to 6 feet tall, it is a 
perfect mass of bright yellow, double roses, 
1 to 2 inches across, for several weeks in 
June. 
F. J. GROOTENDORST— 
The beautiful effect of the many clusters 
of small, bright red Roses is familiar to 
many. Blooms almost continually. Com- 
pact, bushy growth. 
ROSA BLANDA— 
One of the extremely fine shrub roses. 
This makes a shrub 3 to 5 feet tall, is 
spreading, very hardy, filled with single 
pink flowers in the spring followed by red 
berries that make it very attractive during 
the winter months. You need these to liven 
up your landscape. 
HANSA— 
A large, double, deep red Rose of pleas- 
ing fragrance. Foliage rich dark green. 
Bush is very hardy and is a splendid orna- 
mental shrub. 
HUGONIS—

set with lovely single flowers very early in 
the season, sometimes before June lst in 
this latitude. The bleoms are approximately 
1/2 inches across and of clear bright yel- 
low which does not fade. Strong 2 yr. 
plants of the above varieties, $1.25; 3 yr. 
plants, $1.50. 
SHEARING EVERGREENS 
Evergreens planted on the lawn can 
usually be allowed to grow about as they 
like, but those planted near the house must 
be properly sheared or they will not only 
get too large but will often become open 
and scraggy. This shearing is easy to do 
and most anyone can do it but it is very 
important that it be done at the proper time. 
The shearing will be much more satisfac- 
tory if done every year so it will not be 
necessary to cut anything except the pres- 
ent year’s growth. In cutting this new 
growth there should be at least an inch 
left on each twig as this will encourage 
the production of new buds from which next 
years growth will start. 
Shear Mugho Pine the first week in June, 
Spruces during the latter part of June. 
Junipers and Arborvitae may be sheared 
in early spring if they had not been sheared 
the summer before, to be followed by the 
usual summer shearing. The regular an- 
nual shearing of these varieties may be 
done any time from June through August, 
probably the best time being the latter part 
of July.
