Wistarias are among the first vines to flower, when they show forth gorgeously in early May. They grow rapidly on 

 most any support and endure, better than most vines, the conditions presented in crowded cities, where they can often be 

 seen growing vigorously in the smallest yards. For prices see page 96. 



Ornamental Vines 



CLIMBING Vines are as necessary to the comfort and beauty of a home as the trees and shrubs we 

 plant about it. They mature quickly and tone down the stiff, bold angles of ne\y buildings, and 

 give shade and flowers over verandas and trellises. They are cheerful and cooling in climbing over 

 V)owers and Summer-houses, and wild and natural in running over trees and stumps. In shaded places 

 and beneath old trees, where grass will not grow, they are often used as a ground cover. On steep slopes 

 and banks they prevent erosion. They ramble over unsightK-, neglected places, and make them beautiful 

 with fragrant and brilliant flowers. Vines are strong, robust growers, that require little attention other 

 than to occasionali\- train them. 



Actinidia 



Actinidia arguta. A vigorous, rapid-growing 

 Japanese \'ine, with glossy, leathery leaves and 

 greenish white flowers, succeeded by greenish 

 yellow fruits. Fine for covering arbors, trellises, 

 walls and to produce wild effects.

These are familiar strong-growing vines with 

 deep, rich green foliage and large trumpet-shaped 

 flowers in early Summer. They are very desirable 

 for covering Summer-houses, training over arbors, 

 and to climb over trees, rocks and rustic bridges. 

 Bignonias will grow in almost any soil, and are 

 hardy, except in the coldest climates. We offer 

 the two varieties that follow.
