ISAAC HICKS & SON
CLEMATIS
C. Jackmani. A slender vine, having
large deep violet-purple flowers.
An abundant bloomer.
C. paniculata. This vine has rapidly
gained popularity by itsjpigorous
healthy growth, and its clouds of
white flowers in August. The
shrubbery at that time has but
few flowers, and an occasional
Clematis clambering over the top
will look as beautiful as the
Spirea Van Houttei in its season.
It will transform an ugly fence
into a beautiful hedge.
DUTCHMAN'S PIPE
SZristolochia Sipho
A strong, showy vine with leaves
io inches wide. The small green
blossoms are in the shape of a pipe.
EUONYMUS
E. radicans. A valuable climber that
may be considered a substitute for
English ivy in this country, having
the advantage over it of keeping
the foliage uninjured by our bright
winter sunshine. It grows on
walls and trees, sending out horizontal branches in the manner of
an old English Ivy. It makes a
good evergreen ground cover, and is useful in
covering stones and stumps in rock gardens.
The glossy dark leaves are about an inch long
by a half inch wide. See, also, under Broad-
leaved Evergreens. It has escaped and runs
wild in our woods.
Japanese Honeysuckle is one of the best and cheapest bank covers.
HONEYSUCKLE. Lonicera
This large family contains a variety of useful
vines. They are all hardy and vigorous in their
growth and not at all particular as to soil or
moisture.
Japanese Ivy, Ampelopsis Veitchii, is about the quickest clinging vine. From early spring till late autumn it is beautiful and
perfectly healthy. We have it at low rates. Plant a hundred on tree trunks, fences and walls.
