HEDERA helix — ENGLISH IVY 
Hedera helix baltica 
ENGLISH IVY 
This is considered the hardiest English Ivy and when given 
reasonable care will withstand considerable cold. It has many 
uses, from covering walls, rocks, tree trunks, and trellises to car¬ 
peting bare spots in shady places and edging beds and borders. 
The leaves are small and grow close together making a solid 
mass of foliage. The berries, which appear only on old plants, 
are black. It comes through the winter best if planted in shade.

Lonicera japonica halliana 
HALL JAPANESE HONEYSUCKLE 
The blossoms of this splendid vine open white, then turn to 
yellow, appearing in early summer and September. They are very 
fragrant and very sweet with the honey juices the humming birds 
love. The vine attains 10 to 15 feet in length and besides being 
useful as a vine makes an excellent ground cover as it will grow 
almost anywhere. The fruit is yellow and very showy against 
the green leaves in winter. When used as a vine, it is evergreen 
until mid-winter, and as a ground cover keeps its deep green color 
until early spring. 
LYCIUM 
Lycium chinense 
CHINESE MATRIMONY VINE 
The Matrimony Vine, sometimes called Chinese Box Thorn, 
is an excellent ground cover for bare, rocky places. Its slender 
drooping branches are somewhat thorny and have grayish green 
leaves. The blossoms appear in June, lasting all summer and fol¬ 
lowed in the fall by enormous quantities of brilliant crimson 
berries that hang into the winter. The berries make excellent 
food for birds. The vine is very hardy and spreads rapidly to a 
distance of 8 to 10 feet. Having a tendency to grow downward, 
it is very decorative when used in flower pots, window ledges 
or urns. When planted to cover embankments, it should be set 
at the top of the slope to be covered. Each joint which presses 
into the soil forms its own roots, thus making it a valuable plant 
for the prevention of soil erosion on banks and hillsides. It will 
grow in the most dry and difficult situation. 
POLYGONUM — FLEECEFLOWER 
Polygonum auberti 
CHINA FLEECEVINE, SILVERLACE VINE 
One of our newest additions, this slender, delicate looking 
vine is very hardy and rapidly grows 20 to 30 feet in length. 
The foliage is light green and from mid-summer to late fall, it 
is completely covered with silvery lace-like white flowers, giving 
it an ethereal appearance. We recommend it where quick shade 
and beauty are needed, as it will grow 20 to 25 feet the first 
season.

CHINESE WISTERIA, PURPLE 
A rapid growing tall vine which produces small purple 
flowers in dense drooping clusters, 8 to 12 inches long, during 
May and June. It attains a height of 20 to 30 feet and is a tightly 
twining vine, curling around conductor pipes, ropes, branches of 
trees, or anything to which it can attach itself. The foliage is 
grayish green in color and the plant is of such sturdy woody 
growth that it may easily be trained to a standard tree form of 
considerable size, making a beautiful specimen. 
Wisteria sinensis alba 
CHINESE WISTERIA WHITE

ese Wisteria may present an unpleasant contrast.
