PLANTING HOME GROUNDS 
Engelmann’s Ivy. Ampelopsis Engelmanni. —Similar 
to Boston Ivy, but with larger foliage and the leaves are 
closer together. Will cling to brick and stucco on South 
and West exposures where Boston Ivy burns out. The 
best climber for walls. 
English Ivy. Hedera helix. —English Ivy is the aristo¬ 
crat of vines. It is evergreen, and will cling to stucco, 
stone and brick. English Ivy will grow here on North ex¬ 
posures when well cared for. It prefers heavy soil. Field 
grown plants should be purchased, as plants propagated 
in greenhouses are likely to be tender. 
Virginia Creeper. Ampelopsis quinquefolia. (Wood¬ 
bine)—A native vine similar to Engelmann’s Ivy, but not 
as desirable for covering walls. Suitable for growing over 
pergolas, etc. 
Bittersweet. Celastrus scandens. —An old-fashioned 
vine with bright green leaves and clusters of scarlet ber¬ 
ries in Fall and Winter. Very desirable for covering per¬ 
golas, wire fences, etc. Berries are used during the Win¬ 
ter holidays for home decorations. 
Hall’s Honeysuckle. Lonicera japonica hallicina. —A 
hardy vine with dark green foliage which persists into the 
Winter and gives the vine a pleasing evergreen appear¬ 
ance. Fragrant white flowers in Summer. Very desir¬ 
able for covering banks and spots where grass fails to 
grow. 
Kudzu Vine. Pueraria thimbergiana. —A most rapid 
growing vine suitable for quick etfects. Will sometimes 
grow 50 feet in a single season. Good for quick tempor¬ 
ary covering for pergolas. Generally dies back during 
the Winter. For permanence plant Bitter-sweet and 
Trumpet Vine.
