FLORIDA STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY 
very dense growth, and can be propagated 
by seed. 
The English ivy, Hedcra helix, which 
requires training. I have never seen one 
in bloom in this State, but it is easily 
propagated from cuttings made in the 
winter. This well known vine is noted 
for the beauty of its foliage. 
The wild “yellow jessamine,” Gelsem- 
ium sempervirens, can be found growing 
abundantly in many localities in the woods 
and is easily transplanted, especially in 
its dormant condition in the fall. This 
well known vine blooms early in the 
spring, and is very fragrant. 
The Japanese honeysuckle, Lonicera 
japonica, var. Haitian a, with fragrant 
white flowers. This is a perennial vine 
that will grow under very unfavorable 
conditions. Propagated by division or 
cuttings. 
Ipomoea fuchsioides, a fine climbing 
vine with reddish fuchsia-like flowers, 
easily propagated by cuttings made in the 
late fall. This plant was introduced by 
the United States Department of Agri¬ 
culture. (Needs further description.) 
Manettia bicolor, a vine of moderate 
growth, and short lived, especially to be 
recommended, requiring a rather moist 
soil. The flowers are scarlet tipped, gold¬ 
en yellow. Propagated by cuttings. 
VINES FOR SOUTHERN AND WESTERN 
EXPOSURES. 
For south and west exposures, vines 
with a little heavier growth may be se¬ 
lected, to protect the porch from the di¬ 
rect sunlight in the summer. For this 
purpose I will mention as desirable: 
Solarium zvendlandii, with very large, 
deep green leaves. This vine bears light 
purple flowers during the summer. Prop¬ 
agated by cuttings made in the fall. 
Bignonia venusta, a vigorous grower 
that is especially to be recommended for 
a southern exposure, as it will not stand 
much cold. If killed down by the frost 
it conies up from the roots in the spring. 
It bears clusters of orange-colored flowers. 
We have had good success with this vine 
at the Experiment Station grounds at 
Gainesville, especially during mild win¬ 
ters. I have had no trouble in propagating 
it by cuttings taken in the fall. 
Rosa de Montana, or mountain rose, 
Antigonon leptopus, a vine with rosy to 
dark colored flowers. This is a well 
known vine, and one of the best for these 
locations. Propagated best by seeds, sown 
late in the fall or in early spring. 
“Star jasmine,” Rhynchospermum 
( Trachelosporium ) jasminoides with 
leathery leaves which remain on the vine 
the year round. It blooms in March and 
April, with frequent white, star shaped 
flowers. This vine I can recommend most 
highly. It is best propagated by cuttings, 
but is one of the slowest to take root. For 
a heavy, quick growth I would recom¬ 
mend the “Kudzu vine,” P tier aria thun- 
bergiana, a rank and heavy grower, which 
sheds its foliage during the winter. It 
may be propagated by layers or from 
seed. Any of the Stizolobiums or velvet 
bean family may be used for a quick 
shade. 
VINES FOR ARBORS AND PERGOLAS. 
In making a selection for arbors or 
pergolas, the style of architecture, size, 
location and surroundings should be con-
