Ampelopsis Veitchi—Boston Ivy 
Vines 
The home planting is not complete without them. They keep the 
house cool in summer and furnish protection and shade for the 
porch, arbor or pergola. Many beautiful flowering vines will be 
found in our complete assortment. Include them in your plantings. 
Ivy - Ampelopsis 
American Ivy or Virginia Creeper (Woodbine) (Ampelopsis 
quinquefolia). The well known native Ivy, with 5-parted leaves 
that change to scarlet in fall. Blue-black berries. Hardy and 
quick-growing. Requires artificial support on walls. 
Hedera Helix (English Ivy). Foliage is rich, waxy green with 
prominent lighter veins, and is very attractive when trained 
against harmonious paper or woodwork; or later to decorate and 
veil summer porch boxes. 
Boston Ivy or Japan Ivy (Ampelopsis Veitchi). It is a rapid 
grower and clings to brick or stone walls without artificial fasten¬ 
ing. Foliage handsome, dark green in summer, changing to crim¬ 
son and yellow in autumn. It is a little tender while young, and 
requires winter protection the first winter, but once established 
there is no further risk. 
Bignonia - Trumpet Flower or Trumpet Creeper 
A strong, robust hardy vine, growing 15 to 20 feet. It has showy 
orange-red trumpet-shaped blossoms 5 or 6 inches long, appearing 
in dusters at the tips of the branches, in July and continuing for 
several weeks. The vine has fine very stout aerial roots along its 
branches which will cling to any material where they can find an 
opening for a foothold. Will cling solidly to brick or stone walls 
if they are old or rough enough. A magnificent vine on rocks, old 
trees, posts, heavy trellises, etc. 
Bittersweet- - Celastrus 
Scandens. Hardy, rapid growing native vine. Its small yellow 
flowers, in addition to the berries, which hang all winter, form 
a combination that makes this one of the most popular vines. 
The large clusters of orange-red berries may be cut and used to 
brighten the home in the winter. 
Clematis 
This is one of the most attractive and effective of the hardy flow¬ 
ering climbing vines. Especially adaptable for covering trellises, 
fences, walls and pillars, also suitable for bedding plant, covering 
a bed quickly if fastened down occasionally. 
Henryi. Flowers large and creamy white, from 6 to 8 petals. Fine 
bloomer from July to September. 
Madame Edouard Andre. Flowers bright, velvety red. Large and 
continuous bloomer. July to September.
