30 THE NORTH DAKOTA FARMSTEAD 



CLIMBING HONEYSUCKLE, of which there are many species, is an 

 excellent climbing vine, desired chiefly because of its very fragrant 

 flowers. If supplied with a support it will grow to a height of 15 to 

 20 feet. Lonicera Heckrotti and L. Japonica are some of the better 

 species. This vine should be tried more carefully before it is exten- 

 sively planted as it is reported to be not hardy in some sections. 



WILD GRAPE (Vitis riparia). Our native wild grape is very serv- 

 iceable for arbors or porch decorations. It produces sour fruit that 

 is edible after it has been frosted? 



HARDY PERENNIAL -VINES 



DUTCHMAN'S PIPE (Aristolochia sipho) and (A. macrophylla) are 

 strong growing vines with immense heart-shaped leaves. They 

 produce a very dense shade and adapt themselves to any soil. They 

 do well in shady places. In good soils they will grow to a height of 

 25 feet or more. They receive their name from their pipe-shaped 

 flowers. 



HOP (Humulus lupulus). The hop is a native hardy perennial 

 vine good for covering arbors, walls, fences, tree trunks, etc. It 

 produces greenish flowers and grows to a height of about 15 feet. 



CANADA MOONSEED (Menispermum canadense) is a very good vine 

 for moist soils. It is a native of the state. It generally attains 

 a height of 10 to 15 feet.
