LONICERA semper virens. SCARLET TRUMPET HONEYSUCKLE. 
Differs widely from the Japanese forms and is brilliant in bloom with 
its clusters of tubular scarlet flowers that continue all summer. Bluish 
green leaves. A very pretty and desirable sort. 
LYCIUM Chinense. Matrimony Vine. Very hardy and grows any- 
where. The slender, drooping branches are somewhat thorny and 
bear grayish green leaves. The small flowers, varying from pink to 
purple, are noticed from June to September and are then succeeded 
through the fall and winter by a profusion of bright scarlet and orange 
fruits. A good plant for trelliswork and bowers ; it is desirable in 
neglected places and to creep over walls and rocks. 
PERIPLOCA Graeca. Silk Vine. A rapid grower, with dark green, 
silky leaves. Small purple flowers in July. Valued for covering trees, 
stumps, etc. 
PACHYSANDRA terminalis. A trailing plant, growing 6 to 8 inches 
high, forming broad mats of bright, glossy green foliage and small 
spikes of flowers during May and June, mainly valuable on account 
of its foliage. This plant is also described in Circular No. 9. 
PUERARIA Thunbergiana ; syn., Dolicbos Japonica. Kudzu 
Vine. A hardy vine, remarkable for the rapidity of its growth, and 
most useful for covering arbors and verandas. In Dayton it is of a 
herbaceous nature, the tops dying down to the ground in winter. The 
root should be protected with mulch during the first winter after 
planting. 
ROSES, Climbing. See Circular No. 8. 
SCHIZOPHRAGMA hydrangeoides. Climbing Hydrangea. This 
is one of the most interesting of our hardy climbers. Its flowers, which 
are borne in large trusses, are similar to a white Hydrangea, and when 
in flower, during July and August, make a handsome display. One of 
the best flowering vines for planting against a tree or wall, as it clings 
naturally to any rough surface, and requires no support or tying. 
Difficult to propagate and very rare. 
TECOMA radicans. Scarlet Trumpet Vine. Deep, rich green 
foliage and large trumpet-shaped scarlet flowers in early summer. It 
is very desirable for covering summer-houses, training over arbors and 
to climb over trees, rocks and rustic bridges. Will grow in almost any 
soil and are hardy. The Grandiflora is a choice variety, but not 
hardy in Daytm. 
VINCA minor. Periwinkle; Trailing Myrtle. A familiar ever- 
green creeper that bears blue flowers in early spring and is common 
as a carpet in shady places or on rockeries and graves. Valuable 
for the deeply shaded nooks and corners when nothing else will grow. 
WISTARIA Chinensis. Chinese Wistaria. Strong-growing vines 
that wrap themselves tightly about any support, and are valued most 
for covering bowers, porches and training over tree trunks. In May 
they bear abundant dense drooping clusters of flowers similar in 
shape to those of a sweet pea, and occasionally a lighter crop fol- 
lows in August.
