HONEYSUCKLE, continued 
Scarlet Trumpet (L. sempervirens). A 
strong grower, producing scarlet flowers that 
continue all summer; leaves bluish green. A very- 
pretty and desirable sort. 
Siberian (I.. Albcrti). Narrow leaves of 
bluish color, on slender, drooping branches. 
The plant is a very pretty little bush with won- 
derfully attractive blossoms. They are thickly 
set on the branches, unusually large, of porcelain- 
blue color, with a very sweet fragrance. 
Ivy • Hedera 
English (H. Helix). Evergreen vine; thick, 
green leaves; very popular for an evergreen carpet 
beneath trees where grass will not grow, to cover 
buildings, trunks of trees, etc. It grows in almost 
any soil and is fond of shady places; in northern 
localities, sometimes winter-kills if exposed to 
the sun. Should be planted in a northern ex- 
posure. 
Variegated-leaved. Has smaller leaves than 
the preceding; variegated with white. 
Silk Vine • Periploca 
Graeca. A vigorous high-climbing vine; 
handsome foliage and fragrant flowers; thrives in 
almost any well-drained soil; hardy as far north 
as New York, and may be grown with protection 
in colder climate; flowers bluish purple; leaves 
dark green and glossy. 
TRUMPET VINE 
Trumpet Vine • Bignonia 
Bignonia, or Scarlet (B. radicans). A splen- 
did climber, vigorous and hardy, with clusters 
of trumpet -shaped flowers. It clings tenaciously 
and grows rapidly; blooms in August. The only 
tiioroughly hardy variety of this vine. 
Chinese (B. grandifiora). The orange-red 
flowers are larger and earlier than those of the 
other kind, and it is a more bushy grower. 
Wistaria • Glycine 
Chinese Purple (W. Chinensis purpurea). 
A very rapid grower, sometimes making 20 feet 
of wood in a single season; bears long clusters of 
pale blue flowers in late spring and early fall; 
unusually hardy. 
Chinese White (W. Chinensis alba). Simi- 
lar in form to the above, except in the color of 
the flowers, which in this case are pure white. 
Planted together with the Purple, a most mag- 
nificent effect is obtained.
