MOUNT ARBOR NURSERI 
HARDY VINES 
AKEBIA 
Akebia Quinata — A Japanese variety of climb- 
ing shrub with large leaves and white, pur- 
ple centered flowers. 
AMPELOPSIS 
American Ivy or Virginia Creeper (A quinque- 
folia) — One of the finest vines for covering 
walls, verandas or trunks of trees; foliage 
green, turning to a rich crimson in autumn; 
a rapid grower and quickly fastens to any- 
thing it touches. 
Boston Ivy (Veitchii) — Leaves smaller than the 
American; forms a dense sheet of green as 
leaves overlap each other; is a little difficult 
to start, but when once established requires 
no further care; foliage changes to a crimson 
scarlet in the fall, very valuable for covering 
brick or stone structures, rockeries, walls, etc. 
Engelman's Ivy or Woodbine — (A. quinquefolia, 
var. Engelmanni) — A type of quinquefolia, 
which has long been desired. It has shorter 
joints and smaller and thicker foliage. It is 
better equipped with tendrils, by which it will 
climb walls of stone or brick as closely as the 
Veitchii (Boston Ivy). It should be planted 
in the central and northwestern states, in 
place of the Veitchii, as it is perfectly hardy, 
withstanding heat and cold much better. 
ARISTOLOCHIA 
Dutchman's Pipe — A native species of climbing 
habit and rapid growth, light green foliage, 
and pipe-shaped yellowish brown flowers. 
BIGNONIA. Tecoma 
Trumpet Creeper (B. Radicans) — A hardy climb- 
ing plant with large trumpet-shaped scarlet 
flowers appearing in August.
