WISTARIA 
Deciduous, twining vines of rapid and extremely 
strong growth. Leaves pinnate. Flowers pea¬ 
shaped, in long, drooping racemes in early spring. 
When in bloom surpass almost all other climbers 
in profusion and beauty of flowers. For Ever¬ 
green Wistaria see Milicttia. 
W. chinensis. CHINESE WISTARIA. Racemes 
nearly a foot long and very compact. Flowers are 
very light purple or nearly lavender and appear 
before the leaves. Very fragrant. 
W. chinensis albiflora. WHITE CHINESE WIS¬ 
TARIA. Variety of preceding with pure white 
flowers. Otherwise identical. 
W. chinensis flore pleno. DOUBLE-FLOWER¬ 
ING CHINESE WISTARIA. Flowers very double; 
purple. 
W. chinensis fragrans. FRAGRANT WHITE 
WISTARIA. Similar to White Chinese, but flowers 
are intensely fragrant. 
W. multijuga. JAPANESE WISTARIA. En¬ 
tirely distinct from the Chinese type. Its charac¬ 
teristic feature is the great length of the racemes, 
which are often two or three and occasionally, in 
good specimens, nearly four feet long. Much looser 
than the racemes of the Chinese form. Comes into 
bloom about ten days later, as the leaves are ap¬ 
pearing. Best grown on a pergola or arbor where 
the long racemes may hang through, giving a pic¬ 
turesque and charming effect. 
W. multijuga alba. WHITE JAPANESE WIS¬ 
TARIA. Differs from type in bearing pure white 
flowers. 
W. multijuga rosea. PINK JAPANESE WIS¬ 
TARIA. A very rare variety with pink-tinted 
flowers. 
W. speciosa magnifica. Blooms a week or two 
later than any of the others and often again in 
autumn. Flowers in short panicles, lilac with 
greenish yellow spots. Native of Eastern States.
