JAPANESE LONGCLUSTER WISTARIA 
Known Botanically as Floribunda and Multijuga, Longcluster or 
Weeping Wistaria is the most picturesque of all Wistaria and will cer¬ 
tainly take the place of the common sort as soon as they become known. 
The flower clusters are very much elongated, the flowers being somewhat 
thinly distributed along the central cord, or stem, producing an unrivaled, 
graceful effect. The blooming period is approximately one week later 
than the Chinese. All fragrant, especially the white sorts. 
WISTARIA FLORIBUNDA KYUSHAKU (Ushijima). a recent importation from Japan. 
Flowers "nine feet long.” That descriptive name applied to the flowers is of 
course gross exaggeration from the prosaic Western point of view, but in the East 
flattery of this kind is always taken with a grain of salt. Flower clusters 4 to 5 
feet long are not uncommon for this variety. Kyushaku produces probably the 
ultimate length of Wistaria flowers. We have the honor of being the first firm 
to produce this variety to American horticulture. 
WISTARIA MRS. McCULLAGH. This is a rare and beautiful variety. Flowers are 
large purple in compact clusters; less vigorous than the others. 
WISTARIA FLORIBUNDA MURASAKI NODA. Purple blooms, 24 or more inches long; 
strong grower, very free flowering. By the Japanese rated as "the” purple sort. 
"Murasaki” means purple. 
WISTARIA FLORIBUNDA NAGA NODA, “the five-foot Wistaria." Extra long Japanese 
Wistaria. A variety of W. Multijuga with astonishingly long clusters of purple 
flowers. On a well-established vine they will run three to four feet in length. 
Three vines of this variety are known in the Philadelphia district, where they 
attract a great many visitors, all marveling at the freakish length of flowers. 
This variety has not been offered by American nurserymen for many years, but 
it is being introduced by us and has proven extremely popular. 
WISTARIA FLORIBUNDA PENN VALLEY LONGCLUSTER. Racemes 24 to 40 inches 
long, of a good purple. This sort should produce flowers promptly, but it is im¬ 
possible to state exactly when the first production will take place. The plants 
offered were produced from scions or cuttings taken from a flowering vine in 
Pennsylvania. 
WISTARIA FLORIBUNDA PRAECOX (Issai)—Blue. Named for its tendency to come 
into bearing or production of flowers as young vines. Well managed three-year- 
old vines have produced very soon after planting as many as three dozen flowers. 
This is not a rank growing sort; very desirable where your space on the wall or 
arbor is limited. It is particularly an A-l sort for pot culture; very easily man¬ 
aged as a pot plant. Likely to bloom immediately. 
WISTARIA FLORIBUNDA PRAECOX—White. A white form of the above. Very frag¬ 
rant. Excellent for pot culture, but equally good when used as a vine. Likely to 
bloom immediately. 
WISTARIA FLORIBUNDA ROSEA (Rose Weeping Wistaria). An interesting variation; 
a favored color in Japan is this superior variety of Pink Weeping Wistaria. All 
vines are produced from selected stock plants. Flower clusters of medium length 
on young plants; 24 to 30 inches on established vines. This Wistaria with its
