Wistaria 



STRONG-GROWING vines that wrap them- 

 selves tightly about any support and are valued 

 most for covering bowers, porches, pergolas and 

 training over tree trunks. In May they bear abun- 

 dant drooping clusters of flowers, similar in shape to 

 those of a Sweet Pea, and occasionally a lighter crop 

 follows in August. 



Wistaria Chinensis. Chinese Wistaria. The 

 common variety, which blooms so profusely in May. 

 Flowers pale blue; fragrant. It withstands the 

 smoke of cities; grows anywhere. The larger size 

 listed below are plants that have been transplanted 

 several times and should make much quicker results 

 than younger plants, which are not so sturdy.

The Watering of Newly Planted 

 Nursery Stock 



IF drought ensues, artificial watering 

 should be resorted to. This does not 

 mean frequent sprinkling, but a thor- 

 ough soaking once or twice a week when 

 the ground is dry. 



The maintenance of cultivated areas 

 about each of the plants stimulates growth 

 and conserves moisture. 



Mulching areas about the plants with 

 grass clippings, long manure or straw 

 retains the moisture and should be done if 

 l)ossible. 



When you water don't sprinkle to ,ntle the dust, but pour 

 water about the roots, and only when ground 

 is dry; not necessarily daily.
