JACKSON VINE, 
( Smilax lanceolata) 
Often called Southern Smilax, Bamboo Vine, and 
Green Nut Vine 
ONE OF OUR SPECIALTIES 
We think we are the only firm advertising 
this very desirable evergreen vine. It has 
been known for years in and around Hunts- 
ville, though not widely known in many sec- 
tions. When once established it makes a 
wonderful growth each year. Its habit of 
growth is peculiar in that it sends up one 
new shoot from below the surface each 
spring. The previous year’s growth does not 
suffer during the winter months ; the foliage 
remains a dark, rich, glossy green the year 
round, and is largely used for decorative pur- 
poses, especially in the winter months. It 
takes some time to establish a plant nicely. 
Those we send are 3 years old, and by the 
time they have been planted 2 years they 
will make a good show and will increase 
rapidly each year. Many of the old Hunts- 
ville homes have beautiful specimens of it. 
The illustration is from a photograph of the 
Dement residence, Huntsville. This vine 
has often furnished decorative green for wed- 
dings, fairs, etc., in winter, when material of 
this kind is almost impossible to get. 
For a permanent porch shade plant 6 feet 
apart. Soil should be enriched with well- 
rotted stable manure. Plant the bulb or 
root about 3 inches below the surface, firm- 
ing it well into the soil. Planting can be 
done at any time from November to March 
Three-year-old vines, 50 cents each, $2 for 6
