WISTARIA 
W. Chinensis. Chinese Wistaria. One of the best of all hardy climbers. 
It thrives in a sunny situation, and when in good soil grows quite rapidly. 
Valuable for covering trees, large trellis work or porches, and can be used in 
shrubbery borders when trained to standard form. When in flower the great 
clusters of pea-shaped bloom give a more showy effect than any other 
climbing vine. Flowers in May, producing clusters of richly perfumed violet- 
blue blossoms. (See plate on page 109.) 
W. Chinensis, var. alba. A form with pure white, fragrant flowers. 
W. magnifica. American Wistaria. A native sort, bearing medium¬ 
sized panicles of pale lilac-colored, fragrant flowers. 
W. multijuga. A Japanese species, with immense panicles of deep purple 
flowers.
