ARISTOLOCHIA SIPHO 
HARDY CLIMBING VINES 
Trees and shrubs are no more essential to the comfort and beauty of the home grounds than 
Climbing Vines. They display a wealth of beauty when in the glory of full bloom, mature quickly, 
give shade and flowers over porches and trellises, and tone down the abrupt angles of buildings. 
Vines are strong, robust growers that require little attention other than to occasionally trim them. 
Ampelopsis 
American Ivy, or Virginia Creeper (A. 
quinquefolia). A rapid grower, with beautiful 
dark green foliage, turning to rich crimson in the 
fall. The conspicuous blooms are succeeded by 
handsome dark blue berries. 
Japanese, or Boston Ivy (A. Veitchii). 
Leaves slightly smaller and more ivy-like than 
those of the American Ivy. Overlapping each 
other, they form a dense sheet of green. The 
plant should have slight protection the first 
winter but after that will take care of itself. The 
roots find nourishment in poor soil and it is a 
rapid grower. The most popular Ivy for covering 
buildings and walls. 
Dutchman's Pipe • Aristolochia 
Sipho. A strong and rapid-growing tropical 
vine, with magnificent light green foliage; 
curious pipe-shaped yellowish brown flowers. 
It will give a quick and dense shade and is 
splendidly adapted for arbors and ''rellises. 
Akebia 
Quinata. Has dark green leaves and purple 
flowers, blooming in early summer. Grows best 
in sunny places and is seldom attacked by insects. 
Honeysuckle • Lonicera 
Chinese Twining (L. Japonica). This vine 
holds its foliage nearly all winter. It blooms in 
July and September, with a profusion of buds 
delicately tinted with pink and opening into 
fragrant pink and white flowers. Very sweet. 
Hall's Japan (T.. Halliana). An evergreen 
variety; peculiar white flowers, changing into 
yellow; very fragrant; covered with flowers from 
June to November; glossy light green leaves. 
Japan Golden-leaved (L. Brachypoda aurea 
reticulata). Foliage beautifully tinted with yel- 
low; valuable for color contrast with other kinds; 
flowers cream-colored and fragrant. 
Monthly Fragrant (L. Bclgica). In bloom 
almost all summer; flowers red and yellow; foli- 
age attractive.
