RICE — JAPANESE BAMBOO, etc. etc. 
Polygonum cuspidatum 
Words fail me when I try to adequately describe this 
plant. But, if you want a persistent, vigorous perennial 
that is almost shrub-like in its growth, that will grow 
in sand (plasterer’s not beach), gravel heaps, muck 
holes, — and almost in black top and Portland Cement, 
then here is the plant. Since the days of the outhouse 
it has been used as an effective screen. 
Its growth is lush, its branches graceful and its small 
greenish flowers are most attractive in late Summer 
and Autumn. It flourishes like the proverbial Bay tree. 
It is immune to winds, unkind words, and the curses of 
people who have it growing where they don’t want it 
to grow. 
If after the foregoing you still want it, we can supply 
it. 
Strong, vigorous clumps 
$1.50 each 10 for $12.50 
P.S. Please don’t buy more than 25 of these because believe it 
or not, I still have a conscience and I don’t want you to have 
a jungle. But they are really unmatched for persistence, 
stamina and endurance. 
CLIMBING HYDRANGEA 
Hydrangea petiolaris 
A true vine — will attach itself to brick or masonry, 
grow in sun or shade, and will persist in windswept 
locations. 
In late June, it has large flat clusters of white fra- 
grant flowers 6 to 10 inches in diameter. 
$3.00 each 
WOODBINE — Parthenocissus quinquefolia 
The Woodbine or Virginia Creeper is one of the 
more vigorous growing vines. If the roots are planted 
in good pockets of loam, this vine makes a marvelous 
ground cover in sandy areas, — and quickly too. Its 
Autumn foliage is a brilliant red, and the birds enjoy 
the clustered blue berries. 
3 year field grown plants $1.50 each $13.50 per 10 
BEARBERRY or WILD CRANBERRY 
Arctostaphyllos uva-ursi 
This creeping evergreen vine makes dense mats of 
glossy dark green, turning reddish bronze throughout 
Fall and Winter. One of the best ground covers for 
sandy soils, as it is native on the sand dunes along the 
coast. If you have a sandy bank to cover, this plant 
will do it. Grown in 214” pots. 
10 for $6.50 $60.00 per hundred 
Japanese Fleeceflower has a lush foliage even 
in the most trying locations. 
MALLOWS — Hibiscus moscheutos 
Although the wind usually blows constantly at the 
seashore it does not blow steadily. It comes in puffs. 
Sometimes when the small craft warnings are flying, 
the wind is hitting 30 to 40 miles an hour, and when 
the hurricane flags are displayed it means 50, 60 or 
more miles per hour. 
In a situation like this, one must choose carefully 
the kind of perennials to be planted. One of the best 
is the Mallow, for it will withstand the huffs and puffs 
of a strong gusty wind. Despite their exposure to wind 
and spray, they flower gaily year after year and stub- 
ee resist all of Nature’s efforts to triumph over 
them. 
We offer a strain of this colorful plant with enormous 
flowers, appropriately named “Super Giants.” We 
offer them in mixed colors only, pink, red and white. 
(Named varieties of this same plant are being offered 
by some at prices up to $3.50 each. Note our prices! )
