Lonicera - Honeysuckle 
Favorite vines with delightfully fragrant flowers. Perfectly hardy and 
adaptable to any purpose. 
Lonicera Halliana (Hall’s japan Honeysuckle). A strong, vigorous, ah 
most evergreen sort, with pure white flowers, changing to yellow. Very 
fragrant and covered with flowers from July to November. Holds its 
leaves until January. Subject to winter injury in Wisconsin. 
L. sempervirens (Scarlet Trumpet Honeysuckle). A strong, rapid grower; 
blooms very freely the entire season; bright red trumpet-shaped flowers. 
Very hardy. 
Polygonum 
Polygonum Auberti (Silver Lace Vine). A very rapid growing vine that 
is covered in late summer and fall with a mass of white, fleecy bloom. 
A very rapid grower, making a good showing the first season. 
Tecoma - Trumpet Flower 
Tecoma radicans (American Trumpet Flower). A very robust, rapid 
growing vine with large, scarlet, trumpet-shaped flowers in August. 
Scarlet Trumpet Honeysuckle 
Vinca - Periwinkle; Myrtle 
Vinca minor (Trailing Myrtle). A low, creeping plant used 
largely in cemetery work and in covering the ground in 
shady places. Has evergreen, shining foliage and small, 
blue flowers. 
Wisteria 
Wisteria sinensis (Chinese Wisteria). One of the most 
rapid growing of all the climbing plants. Grows from 
15 to 20 feet in a season. Has long, pendulous clusters 
of pale blue flowers in May or June and sometimes in 
autumn. 
Hedges, Screens and 
Shelter Belts 
For Ornamental Hedges. Spiraea Van Houttei, Hydrangea pan- 
iculata grandiflora, Rosa rugosa, Amur Privet North, Thunberg’s 
Barberry and Lonicera Morrowi are being used quite extensively 
and with excellent satisfaction. For an evergreen hedge there is 
nothing better than Norway Spruce and Arbor-Vitae. 
For Screens. To cut off unsightly views, etc., such shrubs as 
Tatarian Honeysuckle, Philadelphus grandiflora, and Common Lilac 
work in very nicely. These will attain a height of 8 to 10 feet. 
Where a taller screen is desired, Laurel-Leaf Willow, Chinese Elm, 
Lombardy Poplar, and Evergreens may be used. 
Shelter Belts. Spruces and Pines are the best for this purpose. 
Planted on the north and west side of buildings, they shut out the 
cold winter winds and make all more comfortable, to say nothing of 
the saving in fuel for the home and feed for the stock. By using 
medium sized trees for these belts, the expense is but little as 
compared to the benefit derived.
