 awarded first place as the fastest 

 growing hardy climbing plant. It 

 will grow 8 to 10 feet the first year 

 from seed, and after it has become 

 established there seems to be no 

 limit to its growth, 50 feet in a 

 single season being not unusual. 

 The vines die down to the ground 

 in our climate but come up with re- 

 newed vigor the following spring. 

 Its foliage is large and covers well. 

 Bears small racemes of rosy purple, 

 pea-shaped blossoms toward the 

 close of August. A splendid sub- 

 ject for covering permanently 

 verandas, dead trees, etc.
