VINES WITH ORNAMENTAL FOLIAGE 201 
foliage stands out very prominently, is var. 
murorum. A very dainty little variety, with 
small leaves and especially valuable when a good 
fall colour is desired, is var. Engelmanni, a new 
variety, and a valuable acquisition. A good 
variety with very shiny leaves, especially adapted 
for planting on dark-coloured buildings, which 
bring out the contrast, is var. latifolia. The best 
autumn varieties of this species, with foliage 
remarkable for their colour, approaching very 
closely to the Boston ivy, are var. Grebneri 
and vitacea. Both are valuable and bear an 
abundance of blue-black berries, which stay 
on the vine most of the winter. 
A grand vine for damp, shady locations, where 
the best colours are brought out in the fall, when 
its clusters of berries of a peculiar bluish tint 
are also very attractive, is 4. heterophylla. This 
is a very vigorous grower, and is closely allied 
to the grape. 
For a screen, when a heavy foliage is desired, 
few vines will compete with the Dutchman’s 
pipe (Aristolochia macrophylla), with its enormous, 
dark-green, sombre leaves which are attractive all 
summer. This vine is a good, vigorous grower. 
It never is troubled with insects or disease, and 
if given a good soil and abundance of sunlight
