Clematis, continued 
in late summer. We can recommend this 
novelty in the strongest manner as one of 
the best vines to grow near the house. 
It malies a growth of from 25 to 30 feet 
in a single season, and should be cut back 
to the ground each spring. 
C. Virginica. .\ remarkably vig r us 
plant, and one of the finest for covering 
arbors, porches, and the like. This vine 
has been known to grow at the rate of 3 
inches per day, and frequently makes a 
growth of 20 feet in a season. It is per- 
fectly hardy. Flowers small, greenish 
white, and sced-pods very conspicuous 
and light gray in color. 
C. coccinea. Small, bright coral-red; 
inverted bell-shaped; open but little. Very 
peculiar. Hardy and attractive. 
C. Jackmani. Large, intense violet- 
purple; remarkable for its velvety rich- 
ness; free in its growth and an abundant 
and successive bloomer. 
C. Jackmani alba. Differs from above 
in color of flower, which is a clear white; 
the vine is a more slender grower. 
Dutchman's Pipe (AristolocMa Sipho) 
A magnificent hardy vine of rapid 
growth, with very large, heart-shaped 
leaves and brownish flowers, resembling 
in shape a miniature pipe. 
Trumpet Honeysuckle 
One of the most desirable of our native 
twining plants. Foliage glossy and a 
little on the sage-green order Flowers 
trumpet-shaped, about i ]4 inches long, 
with a salmon shade, with red on the 
inner side of trumpet. Flowers borne in 
clusters, and continue all summer. 
Chinese Matrimony Vine 
Sometimes trained as a shrub. Purple- 
flowered and showy-fruited. Extra -vig- 
orous in growth, bearing prodigious crops 
of large scarlet berries. 
Moonseed 
.'\ native twining vine, of very rapid 
growth, with large deep green glossv 
leaves, closely resembling the English Ivy. 
The seed-pods are shaped like a new moon, 
hence the name. For covering stumps, 
stones or any low object, we know of no 
finer vine. 
Trumpet Flower {Bignonia radicans) 
.\ vine closely resembling the Wistaria. 
Flowers borne in small clusters; blossoms 
2 inches in length by ^ inch in diameter. 
Very showy, but not quite hardy enough 
for our climate here. Needs good pro- 
tection over winter. 
Wistaria 
Purple. One of the most attractive and 
rapid-growing of all climbing plants; 
attains an immense size. Has long, pen- 
dulous clusters of dark blue flowers in 
May and June and in autumn. 
White American. The flowers are clear 
white; bunches short; free bloomer.
