A Brightly Colored Self-sup- 

 porting Woodbine 



A MONG the best vines for planting about 

 -*"*• the suburban or rural home, the 

 common woodbine or Virginia creeper 

 {Ampelopsis quinqitejolia) is a general favor- 

 ite. It has no particular beauty in flower, 

 but it is a rapid grower, and has a very free 

 habit and graceful appearance, either when 

 covering the straight lines of building walls 

 or on rustic summer houses and on stone 

 work. It will grow in any soil, but prefers 

 a rich, moist loam. The one objection to 

 the common Virginia creeper is its inability 

 at all times to cling to its support, but that 

 does not hold true of the variety Englemanni, 

 which occurs wild in the South and West. 



The Engelmanni creeper {Ampelopsis 

 quinque folia, var. Engelmanni, known in the 

 trade simply as A. Engelmanni) is distin- 

 guished from the type and also from all the 

 other forms of the native woodbine because 

 of its ability to adhere to any surface by 

 means of tendrils which stick to whatsoever 



Engelmann's woodbine (.Ampelopsis quinquefoha, 

 var. Engelmanni) is smaller leaved than the common 

 form : it clings to its support and turns to a glowing 

 scarlet in the fall 



they come in contact with, and these are even 

 developed freely on the older branches. Also 

 the leaves of this climbing form are some- 

 what smaller than in the common woodbine 

 and are produced in greater abundance. 

 In the autumn they are particularly beauti- 

 ful, turning to the most brilliant red or scarlet 

 seen in any foliage. Many of the vines are 

 ornamental also when in fruit, the berries 

 being borne in conspicuous umbels, and are 

 of bluish black color, but they rarely show 

 any beauty till the gloriously colored autumn 

 foliage has disappeared. 



The plant is easily propagated from hard- 

 wood cuttings taken during winter, protected 

 in a box of sand or earth, and placed in the 

 cutting bed in the earliest days of spring. 

 Cuttings taken in this way should be about 

 four inches in length, cut to an eye at each 

 end, and in one season they will make good- 

 sized plants for setting out in permanent 

 locations. Plants may also be rooted from 

 layers in summer by covering part of the 

 stems with earth.
