TREES, SHRUBS AND PLANTS FOR AMERICAN HOMES 
Dutchman's Pipe - Aristolochia 
Sipho (Birthwort). A very rapid growing vine, which on account 
of its large, heart-shaped leaves is desirable when dense shade 
is required. Obtains its name from its peculiar brownish flowers, 
resembling in shape a miniature pipe. 
Euonymus 
Vegetus (Evergreen Bittersweet). An evergreen vine, beautiful 
365 days in the year. Orange berries. 
Honeysuckle - Lonicera 
Hall’s Japan Honeysuckle (L. japonica Idalliana). One of the 
most popular of climbing vines, which, in addition to its ordinary 
uses as a climber, is valuable for covering banks, bare spaces, 
etc., where grass will not grow. Flowers white, changing to 
yellow, fragrant and in bloom the whole season. 
Dutchman s Pipe 
Scarlet Trumpet Honeysuckle. Strong, rapid grower. Produces 
scarlet inodorous flowers. June to September. 
Matrimony Vine 
A vigorous climber, branching freely and covered with brightly 
purple, star-shaped flowers, succeeded by brilliant scarlet berries. 
Fine for porches. 
Silver Lace Vine - Polygonum 
Auberti. The name gives a very good description of the beautiful 
lacy appearance of this late blooming vine. It is covered with a 
foamy spray of delicate white flowers which appear late in the 
summer and usually last until frost. A strong grower and 2 plants 
will provide a good start in covering an ordinary porch the first 
year. The vine often grows as much as 25 feet in one season. 
TRUMPET VINE. See Bignonia. 
Hall’s Japan Honeysuckle 
Wisteria 
Purple. Desirable for heavy trellises and pergolas. Attractive if 
trained to old trees. Pea-shaped, purple flowers in dense, pendent 
clusters, often a foot long. Blooms in May. Wisterias grown from 
seed or cuttings are often tardy in blooming. Grafted vines assure 
early flowers. 
Purple. (Grafted). Should bloom second season.
