The Indispensable SILVER LACE VINE and SMALL FRUITS The Glorious SILVER LACE VINE 26-042 Polygonum Auberti Here is a vine that will thrill you and your friends, particularly when covered during the summer and autumn by great masses of showy foamy sprays composed of graceful white blooms. Once established it will give a pro- fusion of flowers year after year with- out serious interference by insects or diseases. The plants make a strong, vigorous growth attaining a height of 25 feet or more, yet they are easily kept within lower limits by pruning. They may be trained over trellises, garden houses, or they may be helped along with wire or string to give shade and privacy to the porch. 60c each $6.00 per doz.

A cross between Catawba and Concord, which has inherited the best characteristics of both parents developing a luscious fruit which ranks close to the greenhouse grown product in high quality and melting texture. It is one of the most beautiful of all hardy grapes. Large wine red berries with abundant bloom carried in large compact bunches. It ripens in advance of Concord and is a strong vigorous grower.
