Wistaria floribunda (multijuga) longcluster Wistaria is the wild form 
of the Japanese Wistaria. Any seedling may properly be listed under 
this title unless it has exhibited such unusual merit as to be identified by 
a name of its own, such as Rosea or Violacea plena. The plants when 
produced directly from seeds vary a great deal in color and quantity of 
bloom, and length of cluster. Multijuga seedlings may have flower 
clusters as short as ten inches or as long as four feet. The Wistaria here 
listed are the best varieties that have been found. They have been selected 
over a long period of years out of hundreds of thousands of seedlings. 
Most Japanese varieties are later flowering than the Chinese; the 
difference varies from six to twelve days. 
WISTARIA FLORIBUNDA KYUSHAKU (Ushijima), a recent importation from Japan. 
Flowers "nine feet long.” That descriptive name, applied to the flowers, is, of 
course, gross exaggeration from the prosaic Western point of view, but in the East, 
flattery of this kind is always taken with a grain of salt. Flower clusters four to 
five feet long are not uncommon for this variety. Kyushaku produces probably 
the ultimate length of Wistaria flowers. We have the honor of being the first to 
produce this variety for America. 
WISTARIA MRS. McCULLAGH. This is a rare and beautiful variety. Flowers are large 
purple in compact clusters; less vigorous than the others. 
WISTARIA FLORIBUNDA MURASAKI NODA. Purple blooms, 24 or more inches long; 
strong grower; very free flowering. By the Japanese rated as "the” purple sort. 
"Murasaki” means purple. 
WISTARIA FLORIBUNDA NAGA NODA, “the five-foot Wistaria." Extra large Japanese 
Wistaria. A variety of W. Multijuga with astonishingly long clusters of purple 
flowers. On a well-established vine they will run three to four feet in length. 
Three vines of this variety are known in the Philadelphia district, where they 
attract a great many visitors, all marveling at the freakish length of flowers. This 
variety has not been offered by American nurserymen for many years, but it is 
being introduced by us and has proven extremely popular. 
WISTARIA FLORIBUNDA PENN VALLEY LONGCLUSTER. Racemes 24 to 40 inches 
long, of a good purple. This sort should produce flowers promptly, but it is im¬ 
possible to state exactly when the first production will take place. The plants 
offered were produced from scions or cuttings taken from a flowering vine in 
Pennsylvania. 
WISTARIA FLORIBUNDA PRAECOX (Issai)—Blue. Named for its tendency to come 
into production of flowers as a young vine. Well managed three-year-old vines 
have produced very soon after planting as many as three dozen flowers. It is not 
fast growing, so is very desirable where your space on the wall or arbor is limited. 
It is particularly good for pot culture; very easily managed and likely to bloom 
immediately. 
WISTARIA FLORIBUNDA PRAECOX—White. A white form of the above. Very fra¬ 
grant. Excellent for pot culture, but egually good when used as a vine. Likely 
to bloom immediately.
