trees in places where grass will not grow.

KUDZU Vine (Pueraria Thunbergiana,or Doli- 
chos Japonica.) This is the most remark¬ 
able rapid-growing perennial vine in exist¬ 
ence, and is unparalleled for ornament and 
shade. If planted in reasonably rich soil 
will produce a multitude of graceful, hairy 
twining stems 40 to 50 feet long in a sea¬ 
son. Exceedingly valuable for covering 
loggias, arbors, verandas and pillars, or 
for any other position where a quick shade 
or ground cover is desired. The leaves 
are similar in shape to those of the Lima 
bean, and are dark green in color and of 
a soft woolly texture, and produced in 
great profusion. The beautiful pea¬ 
shaped flowers are borne in racemes 4 to 6 
inches long, and are suggestive of minia¬ 
ture racemes of wistaria. Fine, healthy 
plants. 50 cts. to $1. 
Lonicera : Honeysuckle 
Favorite vines with flowers of delicious fra¬ 
grance. Strong, rapid growers in any soil or 
location. They are well adapted for all trellis 
work, for climbing over arbors and verandas, 
for training to posts and along fences. They 
are beautiful when allowed to ramble over 
trees and bushes in wild and natural ways. 
The vines take root where they touch the 
ground; this habit suits them for creeping over 
dumps and unsightly places, and for retaining 
soil on slopes and banks. They withstand 
shade and make a ground cover in places 
where grass will not grow. 25 cts. each, $2.50 
doz., $20.00 per 100.

suckle). Red flowers. 
Lonicera flava. (Yellow Honeysuckle.)

L. Japonica, var. aurea reticulata. (Golden 
Honeysuckle.) The leaves, netted with 
golden yellow, are beautiful in themselves 
and are valuable for color contrasts with 
other kinds. It is a good hardy grower, 
with fragrant cream-colored flowers. 
Var. brachypoda. (Evergreen Honey¬ 
suckle.) This variety is very similar in 
appearance to the well-known Hall’s 
Honeysuckle. It is a strong grower and 
desirable sort with yellow flowers. The 
leaves turn a coppery hue in late autumn 
and last until almost spring. 
Var. Chinensis. The leaves are reddish 
green, often with purplish veins beneath. 
In winter the foliage turns to a beautiful 
bronze hue and lasts well on toward 
spring. The profusion of buds are tinted 
with pink and open into very fragrant 
white and pink flowers. This is one of 
the best varieties for every purpose.
