Vines 



CIXMATIS 



C. Jackmani. A slender vine, having 



large deep violet-purple flowers. 



An abundant bloomer. 

 C. paniculata. This vine has rapidly 



gained popularity by its vigorous 



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 Houttci in its season. 



It will transform an ugly fence 



into a beautiful hedge. 



DUTCHMAN'S PIPE, 



Hristolochia Sipho 



A strong, showy vine with leaves 

 10 inches wide. The small green 

 blossoms are in the shape of a pipe. 



E.UONYMUS 



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 hori- 

 zontal 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 at Dosoris. 



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.
