Vines 
Wistaria is vigorous and always healthy. We have them in tree form, and the rare species with racemes of flowers 3 ft. long. 
HONEYSUCKLE, continued 
Japanese. L. Japonica. Hall's Honeysuckle. 
Leaves dark green, and are held throughout most 
of the winter. The fragrant white and yellow flow- 
ers appear in early summer and again in autumn. 
It is a strong, rapid grower, and makes a most 
satisfactory vine for porch, pergola, hedge or 
ground cover. For covering rough banks along 
the roadside, sandy bluffs, stumps and rocks, or 
for holding up embankments, it has no equal. 
Trained to a slight wire fence and trimmed, it 
thickens up its masses of rich foliage and forms a 
beautiful hedge. We offer it at low rates per 
thousand for these purposes. We also offer long 
vines for immediately covering walls or porches. 
Golden. L. Japonica, var. aurea reticulata. A 
striking object, with its leaves brilliantly marked 
with yellow and red. 
Chinese. L. Japonica, var. Chinensis. Similar to 
the Japanese, with dark leaves, purple beneath. 
Coral Trumpet. L. sempervirens. A climber, with 
long, tubular scarlet flowers during the summer. 
L. Heckrotti. A low climber that is chiefly valuable 
from the profusion with which it flowers in 
October, and if in a sheltered place, it affords the 
rare opportunity of gathering flowers in Novem- 
ber and December. 
IVY 
English. Hedera Helix. English Ivy is the ideal 
evergreen vine for clinging to stone and brick 
walls when the soil and climatic conditions are 
congenial, as in England. There are beautiful 
plants of it on Long Island, growing 50 feet high 
and sending out branches 12 feet wide, where 
protected from severe cold and brilliant winter 
sunshine. It makes a rich, dark border to gar- 
den paths. Its shade-enduring properties make 
it valuable for covering the ground and trunks of 
trees in woodland borders. 
Japanese, or Boston. Ampelopsis tricuspidaia ; 
syn., A. Veitchii. The most popular of the 
clinging" vines. It maintains its glossy and 
healthy foliage even in the dust and smoke of 
large cities, and thrives where there is apparently 
little soil to feed upon. It will cling to stone, 
brick and wood, but it will not twine upon wires 
or trellises. The brilliant autumn coloring is one 
of its attractive features. (See page 56.) 
AMPI.LOPSIS hi.ti:rophylla 
A vigorous, healthy vine from East Asia, with 
light blue berries in autumn. It is very good for 
covering banks, tree trunks, fences and tennis back- 
stops. To limit tne use of vines to porch decora- 
tion was the old idea ; they are the most adaptable 
of landscape material. A large stock at low rates. 
KUDSU VINE. 
'Dolichos Japonicus : syn., Pueraria Thunbergiana 
A vine exceeding all others in rapidity of growth, 
sometimes reaching 40 feet in height in a season. 
It dies back to about 10 feet from the ground every 
winter in this latitude. Useful for quickly cover- 
ing unsightly objects. 
ROSI.S, CLIMBING 
(See, also, Roses) 
Roses should not be omitted from any general 
problem requiring the use of vines. jRosa Setigera 
and some of the new varieties, such as Wichuraiana, 
or Memorial Rose, and its hybrids are particularly 
valuable because of their persistence, healthy foli- 
age and rapid growth. 
TRUMPET CREEPER. T-ecoma 
T. radicans ; syn., Bignonia radicans. Trumpet Vine. 
In late summer this vine is decorative with its clus- 
ters of orange-crimson trumpets 4 or 5 inches long. 
It clings closely to walls and trees, sometimes hav- 
ing a trunk 8 inches in diameter, and reaching to 
the top of locust trees 75 feet high. The foliage 
is glossy and healthy in all situations. We offer 
it in quantity for decorating fences, locust groves 
and woodland borders. 
T. grandiflora; syn., B. Chinensis. Chinese Trumpet 
Creeper. A species not so hardy as the last, but 
it will become established with slight, protection. 
It may be grown on a low post or stake in the 
shrubbery, where it is very decorative with its 
wide scarlet trumpets. It is much more showy 
than the last and continues blooming later in the 
summer. It is appropriately planted by fences 
and tree-trunks.
