Why Some City Wistarias Fail 

 to Flower 



PERHAPS my experience with wistaria 

 -*- will interest Mr. Stearns (May Gar- 

 den Magazine, page 204), and it may help 

 others. In 1880 I layered two shoots of 

 a vine, which was then four years old. 

 The next spring one of these new plants 

 was set out in front of my house which 

 faced east ; the other was planted in the rear. 

 The vine in front was trained over the second 

 story with full eastern exposure — the other 

 was trained over a low trellis or arbor about 

 nine feet high, to make an extension to the 

 kitchen porch; it was protected on all sides 

 by buildings. This vine bloomed the fourth 

 year and rarely failed of a profusion of 

 flowers every spring after, but the one at 

 the front of the house did not bloom till it 

 was fifteen years old (1895), and up till 1902 

 only twice since has it given a few flowers. 

 The original plant never bloomed. 



I found on examination that the cause of 

 failure to bloom in the plant at the front 

 of the house was that the buds were caught 

 by late frost. The flower buds began to 

 grow before the leaf buds, and were some- 

 times a half-inch long before any leaves 

 were to be seen, and at that time a very slight 

 frost was sufficient to kill them. In Feb- 

 ruary I cut back all dead wood, to the first 

 live bud, and when blooming was done I 

 trimmed it back just as far as I wished. 



Perhaps many wistaria vines, which are 

 complained of as not flowering, really stand 

 in need of protection from frost.
