SHRUBS, VINES, PLANTS AND BULBS 



leaved vine that grows on all roadside fences 

 and walls. It has clusters of small purple 

 berries in the fall and is very hardy. It must 

 be trained, for, unlike Ampelopsis Veitchi, it 

 does not cling sufficiently. Good on wooden 

 houses, walls and rustic work. 



A. Veitchi (Japan, or Boston Ivy). Plant 

 in the spring. Very satisfactory against wood 

 or stone, for it clings closely with its many 

 tiny feet. 



BiGNONiA GRANDiFLORA (Trumpet 

 Creeper). Plant in the spring. Blooms from 

 July. A perfectly hardy vine of rapid growth. 

 It has clusters of large, orange-red, trumpet- 

 shaped flowers, and its dense foliage makes 

 it an excellent screen. 



Celastrus Scandens (Bittersweet). 

 Plant in the spring, or transplant from fields 

 or woods. The well-known wild vine with 

 clusters of sweet white flowers in the spring 

 and, in the fall, beautiful orange - colored 

 berries that, after frost, burst their outer 

 orange coat, revealing the scarlet fruit.
