lovely clear pink clusters is a real sensation. To meet the growing demand for 
pink flowers, we have introduced this desirable novelty. 
WISTARIA FLORIBUNDA ROSEA ALABAMA. Sold to us as Rosea, but as the color 
is not a pure pink, but tinted with lavender, we have given this variety the above 
distinctive name in order to separate these two varieties that are otherwise quite 
similar. The habit of growth is almost identical. My preference is the pure pink 
sort. Named "Alabama" because that is the State of Origin. 
WISTARIA FLORIBUNDA ROYAL PURPLE. Multijuga form, deep violet color, out of 
the ordinary and very striking. Clusters 15 to 18 inches long. 
WISTARIA FLORIBUNDA RUBRUM. Deep pink or red. We have not seen this variety 
in bloom and have no first-hand knowledge of the size of flowers nor the color. 
Our plants came to us direct from Japan, from one of the better nurseries in that 
country. 
WISTARIA FLORIBUNDA SHIRO NODA. White form of Murasaki Noda. Bloom clus¬ 
ters 24 to 30 inches long. Also called "Fringe or Lacy Wistaria." The plants 
offered were produced from scions or cuttings taken from a flowering vine in 
New Jersey. 
WISTARIA FLORIBUNDA VIOLACEA PLENA. This variety is of great decoration 
value, largely on account of its impressive, substantial-looking flowers. The 
flowers are not unlike double Russian violet, a deep violet blue, and it is rated 
as being the deepest colored of all the double Wistaria. It is a distinct novelty 
of great value. Clusters of medium length. 
WISTARIA FLORIBUNDA represents the type of Japanese longcluster Wistarias as 
raised from seeds. The type has produced numerous fine varieties of pure white, 
lavender, purple up to deep purple; the flower clusters varying from 12 to 18 
inches or longer. We have a large field of seedlings from this type promising 
to produce many splendid specimens or individuals that are worth of perpetuat¬ 
ing under names or number. We are offering plants of this type, but there are 
not two plants producing exactly the same size and color of bloom. 
WISTARIA FLORIBUNDA ALBA. Same description as Floribunda, the principal dif¬ 
ference is absence of color. A good pure white flower; clusters medium length. 
Fragrant as all white Wistaria. 
WISTARIA FLORIBUNDA LONGISSIMA is raised from seeds produced from extremely 
longcluster sorts or garden varieties. Many of these seedlings produce flower 
clusters 24 to 30 inches long and frequently longer. From such seedlings are 
selected plants that produced the superior sorts we are offering. We have hun¬ 
dreds of this variety, but do not expect any two of them will be alike. 
AMERICAN WISTARIA 
WISTARIA SPECIOSA (Irutescens). Not as vigorous as the Oriental Wistaria. Climbs 
over trees and bushes to a length of 30-40 feet. Has dark green foliage and short 
racemes of lilac-purple flowers borne about 3 weeks after W. Chinensis. Racemes 
2 to 7 inches long, about 14-flowered. Prefers low ground and is native from 
Virginia to Kansas and Florida to Louisiana. In full leaf while flowering. The 
horticultural varieties are alba with white flowers, and mangifica with racemes 
6-8 inches long and 50 to 60 flowers one inch across. The flowers are lilac with 
a yellow spot, and borne earlier than the type. The clusters are larger and 
denser. A great improvement over the wild native type.
