EUONYMUS - Evergreen Bittersweet 
The Euonymus are particularly desirable for their dense, evergreen 
foliage and extreme hardiness, some varieties on account of this taking 
the place of the English Ivy for wall covering, others that of the Box¬ 
wood as an edging plant, while Acuta is a splendid ground cover, and 
one of the best creepers for rockeries is Kewensis. All do well in sun 
or shade. 
Radicans, Wayside Gardens Compact Form 
An excellent evergreen fine in either shade or sun. Its habit is a bushy 
growth. Foliage a dark shiny green and rather small. This vine may 
also be trimmed into a small evergreen hedge for formal beds or walk.

trees or shady walks. Will grow 25 to 30 feet high.

(Miniature Evergreen Bittersweet). A variety with very small, dark 
green foliage. Everyone who has seen this appreciates its value as a rock 
plant. It grows close to the ground, and is a most valuable plant for a 
shady place in the garden where a delicate evergreen is needed. Fine 
ground cover under small trees. 
LONICERA - Honeysuckle 
Their climbing qualities are all that can be desired, but the fragrance 
of their flowers makes their strongest bid for favor. They are perhaps to 
the old-fashioned garden as a vine what the Hollyhocks are as a plant. 
They simply should be there somewhere. 
Hailiana Each $0.50, Doz. $5.00 
Color an intermingling of white and yellow. Fragrant; most satisfac¬ 
tory.

and beautiful blue-gray-green foliage. The brilliant and cheerful flow¬ 
ers freely produced; a worth-while novelty.

(Golden Giant Honeysuckle). A lovely, fast-growing vine and a great 
improvement over the common Honeysuckle. The leaves are clean, giv¬ 
ing a very ornamental effect. The long tubular blooms, which are pro¬ 
duced in large-sized clusters, are golden in color and exceedingly frag¬ 
rant. Altogether a fine climber for shady or sunny porches or trellises. 
Its clean, rich foliage and fine habit easily make it the most desirable 
of the Honeysuckles. 
POLYGONUM - Silver Lace Vine

bothered by insects or other pests. In fall a sea of foam-like white 
flowers.

of 25 or more feet, producing in summer and fall great foamy sprays 
of white flowers, and a well balanced plant during its long period of 
flowering is a mass of bloom. 
PUERARIA - Kudzu Vine 
The most rapid growing vine in cultivation, often attaining a growth 
of 40 feet in a single season. Especially desirable for immediate effect 
for dense shade, as its leaves are large.

(Jack-and-the-Beanstalk). Small, pea-shaped, rosy purple flowers, 
heart-shaped leaves. Will grow anywhere.

In formal gardens Tree Wisterias are indispensable. On the lawn they 
develop into beautiful specimens and live for generations, increasing in 
beauty and dignity each successive season. The plants we offer are 
grown on stems about 4 feet high and the crowns are about 2 1/2 to 3 
feet in diameter. Every plant has bloomed before it leaves our nursery.

WISTERIAS 
There is a much wider range of varieties than is generally thought. 
Descriptions below are condensed because the species to which each 
variety belongs covers the major points. The two important species are: 
Wisteria Sinensis, the Chinese Wisteria characterized by large fragrant 
flowers in compact clusters of medium length. They come into bloom 
very young and all the flowers in each cluster open at about the same 
time before any leaves appear. Wisteria Floribunda which is better 
known as Wisteria Multijuga or Japanese Wisteria has long slender 
racemes of smaller flowers. Those at top are fully open while the lower 
ones are only small unopened buds. This of course lengthens the bloom¬ 
ing period until the leaves are pretty well out. All our stock is grafted 
and grown in a special manner to induce early bloom rather than a lot 
of useless wood. Seedlings or plants improperly propagated may go 
eight or ten years without ever producing a flower. We maintain that 
if wood is the main thing wanted, it is more economical to patronize a 
lumber yard than a nursery. 
VARIETIES RECENTLY IMPORTED FROM JAPAN 
Floribunda cornea Each $5.00 
This came recently from Japan. A soft flesh color entirely distinct in 
several respects from all other pink kinds. Very choice variety. 
Floribunda "Issai" Each $5.00 
A very fine thing, entirely distinct and having many excellent qualities. 
Flowers have much deeper color than common Japanese and are borne 
very profusely. It is also decidedly precocious, coming into bloom very 
young. The short silky seed pods hang on all winter if not cut off, and 
are quite ornamental. 
Floribunda "Kyushaku" Each $5.00 
The Japanese name means “nine feet." Of course that is an exaggera¬ 
tion but flower clusters are supposed to attain three to four feet on old 
vines. 
Floribunda alba Each $5.50 
White Japanese Wisteria. Last of all to flower and very profuse bloom¬ 
er. Snow white. 
Floribunda longissima Each $4.50 
Extra long clustered Wisteria. Lavender-blue. We have actually meas¬ 
ured clusters well over four feet long and there is dependable record of 
old vines producing occasional clusters fully six feet long! If the longest 
possible clusters are wanted, fertilize heavily in autumn after the leaves 
have fallen, but not in spring or during the growing season. 
Floribunda rosea Each $5.50 
Pink Wisteria. This is the finest Pink Wisteria we have ever seen. Clus¬ 
ters about 1 5 to 18 inches long. Slow to commence flowering but once 
started it blooms profusely. All plants have already bloomed in the 
nursery. 
Floribunda violacea plena Each $5.00 
Double Violet Wisteria. The only double Wisteria known in this country 
and has the darkest colored flowers of all. They are exactly like dark 
colored purple Violets borne in clusters about 1 5 to 18 inches long. Very 
free bloomer. 
Sinensis (Chinese Wisteria) Each $2.00 
This is the old favorite called Chinese Purple, but really lavender shaded 
blue. 
Sinensis alba (White Chinese Wisteria) Each $2.00 
Has white fragrant flowers. 
Sinensis "Jako" Each $5.00 
A very free blooming white Chinese Wisteria differing mainly in its in¬ 
tense fragrance. 
Berberis Mentorensis (The Mentor Barberry)
