Climbing and Creeping Vines 
These are the draperies that Nature gives us to cover porches, arbors, fences, and to disguise 
unsightly buildings and old trees. All the varieties here named are strong growers, with either 
bright flowers in summer or brilliant berries in fall. Use vines freely to make the landscape more 
beautiful. They thrive almost anywhere, cost little, and give a large return in comfort and pleasure. 
Ampelopsis 
Ampelopsis quinquefolia engelmanni. Virginia 
Creeper. This is the Five-leaved Ivy that is so 
valuable for covering walls, fences, etc. It will 
grow anywhere and colors brilliantly in the fall. 
35 cts. each, $1.50 for 5. 
A. veitchi. Boston Ivy. The best of the self-cling¬ 
ing vines. Foliage is small, deep green, and very 
dense, covering any object completely. Colors 
beautifully in the fall. Slow to start, but vigorous 
when established. 35 cts. each, $1.50 for 5. 
Bignonia 
Bignonia radicans. Trumpet Vine. A vigorous, 
woody vine, bearing scarlet flowers followed by 
long pods. It is a native of this section, easy to 
establish, and grows luxuriantly. Valuable for 
covering any kind of shelter or rustic work. 
35 cts. each, $1.50 for 5. 
Celastrus 
Celastrus scandens. Bittersweet. An unusually 
attractive native vine because of its showy 
berries in the fall and early winter. Vigorous. 
35 cts. each, $1.50 for 5. 
Clematis 
Clematis jackmani. The most popular Chinese 
Clematis. Has large purple flowers. Exquisite 
when it can be grown. 60 cts. each, $2.50 for 5. 
C. paniculata. The small-flowered, fragrant, white 
“star” variety that blooms so profusely. Easy to 
establish and attractive in foliage as well as 
blossoms. 35 cts. each, $1.50 for 5. 
Euonymus 
Euonymus radicans. Winter Creeper. A slow- 
growing vine that adheres to masonry and remains 
deep green all winter. 35 cts. each. 
E. radicans coloratus. Bronze Winter Creeper. 
A comparatively new vine, growing more rapidly 
than others of this family. It has long, vigorous 
shoots, well covered with small, sharply pointed 
leaves. Clings exceptionally well and makes an 
artistic effect on a bare wall or chimney. Turns a 
rich bronze during the winter months. 35 cts. 
each, $1.50 for 5. 
E. radicans vegetus. Bigleaf Winter Creeper. 
Another evergreen, clinging vine of robust habit, 
perfectly hardy, and especially valuable because 
of the profusion of red berries that hang on for 
several weeks. 35 cts. each, $1.50 for 5. 
Hedera 
Hedera helix. English Ivy. The most popular 
evergreen vine. Has large, deep green, glossy 
foliage, and is unexcelled for covering walls in 
shady and cool places. Can be sheared into 
edging for walks or covering for graves, or used 
as a most satisfactory ground-cover under trees 
or in shady places; adds beauty and dignity. 
35 cts. each, $1.50 for 5. 
Lonicera 
Lonicera japonica halliana. Hall’s Japanese 
Honeysuckle. An evergreen, twining vine that 
is so much used for fences and trellises. Blooms 
continuously, is fragrant, and very easy to 
establish. Used largely to hold roadside banks 
from rain erosion, and will flourish in poor soil. 
35 cts. each, $1.50 for 5. 
L. sempervirens. Scarlet Trumpet Honeysuckle. 
Attractive, trumpet-shaped flowers of bright 
scarlet. 35 cts. each. 
Polygonum 
Polygonum auberti. Silver Lace Vine. A new, 
quick-growing, twining vine with small, attrac¬ 
tive foliage. The flowers are very small and lacy 
and when the plant blooms it is a perfect mass of 
silvery white; there is no other vine of anything 
like the same effect. Blooms from August to 
frost. 60 cts. each, $2.50 for 5. 
Pueraria 
Pueraria thunbergiana. Kudzu Vine. The 
most rapid-growing, twining vine known today. 
It is marvelous how it will cover fences, pergolas, 
or similar objects. The large, purple flowers are 
sweetly scented. Belongs to the pea family, 
and the foliage is dark green. 35 cts. each, 
$1.50 for 5. 
Wisteria 
Wisteria chinensis. Chinese Wisteria. A ram¬ 
pant, clinging vine that has the robust vigor of 
a wild grape and the matchless beauty of a rare 
exotic. Flowers in large, drooping clusters. 
There is so much complaint of Wisteria not 
blooming that we are offering, this year, plants 
that are grafted from blooming wood. This 
insures blossoms. We offer the Blue or White 
variety in 2-year-old plants that can be de¬ 
pended on, though Wisteria always needs to be 
well established to bloom freely. 60 cts. each, 
$2.50 for 5.
