MATRIMONY VINE 



LONICERA 



Brachypoda Aurea Reticulata (Japan Golden- 

 leaved Honeysuckle) — Of vigorous growth, 

 forming radiant festoons and masses with its 

 clear golden leaves; flowers creamj' white. 



Halliana (Hall's Japan Honeysuckle) — Pure white 

 and creamy yellow, very fragrant flowers; in 

 bloom the whole season. Almost evergreen. 

 Besides its uses as a climber, it is valuable for 

 covering banks, bare places, etc., where grass 

 will not grow. 



Sempervirens (Scarlet Trumpet J-Ioneysuckle) — 

 Flowers scarlet and trumpet form. 



Semperflorens — Flowers yellowish white and fra- 

 grant. 



LYCIUM 



Chinense (Matrimony Vine) — Sometimes trained 

 as a shrub. Purple flowered and showy-fruited. 

 Extra vigorous in growth. Also good for 

 liedges. 



TECOMA (Bignonia) 



Radicans (Trumpet Creeper) — A robust, woody 

 vine, climbing high and twining tightly with 

 numerous roots along its stem. Its orange- 

 scarlet flowers cluster at the tips of the 

 branches. Leaves light green. 



WISTARIA 



Magnifica (Purple Wistaria) — Flowers in dense 

 drooping racemes of a pale lavender color. 



Sinensis, Alba — Differs from the Chinese only in 

 ha\ ing inire white flowers. 



DIOSCOREA (Cinnamon Vine) 



Batatas — The odd and quaint Cinnamon Vine, 

 most conspicuous in fall when small tubers clus- 

 ter in the axils of its dark, glossy, arrow-shaped 

 leaves. The white flowers are small, but fill the 

 air with a delightful cinnamon odor. The beau- 

 tiful Cinnamon Vine is one of the most charm- 

 ing of climbers and will quickly cover an arbor, 

 window or veranda with a great profusion of 

 vines and sweet-scented flowers, making it a 

 perfect bower of beauty. The vine is a hardy 

 perennial, and once planted will .grow for many 

 years and will be a source of constant delight 

 to the possessor. There is nothing which will 

 give a house a more homelike and cozy appear- 

 ance or be a surer index of refinement and cul- 

 ture, than beautiful vines twining about the 

 porch and trellises. 



CINNAMON VINE 



LONICERA HALLIANA (Hall's Honeysuckle) 



CLEMATIS 



Of all the vines used either for shade or decora- 

 tion, none can compare with the Clematis in its 

 many and varied forms. Wh-ile the large-flow- 

 ered kinds are not so good for shade until they 

 attain considerable age, their wealth of bloom 

 makes them the grandest embellishments to the 

 porch known. Of the small-flowered varieties, 

 Paniculata undoubtedly holds the lead either as a 

 shade producer or for its abundance of bloom. It 

 is a rampant grower in good soil, and the lateness 

 of its bloom, coupled with the exquisite perfume 

 of its flowers, makes it one of the most desirable 

 of all vines. 



Duchess of Edinburgh — Fine white, double flow- 

 ers. 



Henryi — Creamy white; large and of fine shape; a 

 free grower and bloomer. 



Mad. Koster — Large, red, very fine. Best of the 

 red flowering. 



Jackmani — Flowers, when fully expanded, 4 to 6 

 inches in diameter, intense violet-purple, with a 

 rich velvety appearance, distinctly veined. It 

 blooms continually from July until cut off by 

 frosts. The very best and hardiest variety in 

 cultivation.
