Hardy Vines and Ground Covers 
Every Home Needs a Few Hardy Vines 
Ornamentals of this class are so hardy that they deserve greater 
attention than they receive. No artist can produce pictures equal to 
the wealth of beauty displayed by the elegant Wisteria, the graceful 
Honeysuckle, or the charming and magnificent Clematis when in the 
glory of full bloom, and there is nothing in art that will in any way 
compare with the gorgeous hues of the Ampelopsis after it assumes 
its brilliant Autumn tints 
Nothing lends such pleasing effect to wall or veranda as the 
judicious use of Vines. The hardy vine is best adapted for covering / 
an unsightly wall or for furnishing shade and ornaments to verandas, / 
and for sprawling over banks and walls. Hardy vines practically take 4^ 
care of themselves after once established and are much more desira- ' 
ble and less trouble than annual or tender varieties. 
AKEBIA quinata. A hardy climber with slender branches; evergreen foliage, 
prod ucing violet-brown flowers in early spring. Very fragrant. 
BITTERSWEET (Celastrus scandens). A high climbing vine with broad bright 
green leaves. Fruit capsules orange yellow with crimson arils retained throughout 
the Winter. 
BITTERSWEET, Evergreen (Euonymus radicansi. 
A dependable species, slow growing, good brick 
climber, also used as a ground cover or small shrub. 
Its thick, bright green leaves are retained through 
the Winter. 
BOSTON IVY (Ampelopsis veitchi). A beautiful, 
hardy Japanese species. Leaves overlap one another, 
forming a dense sheet of green. Grows rapidly, and 
clings firmly to the smoothest surface; foliage very 
handsome in Summer, changing to scarlet in Autumn. 
CINNAMON-VINE (Dioscorea batatas). Climbs 
from 10 to 30 ft. The shining green leaves bear small 
clusters of cinnamon scented white flowers in the axils. 
CLEMATIS, Andre. A strong grower and free bloomer. 
Large, violet red flowers. 
CLEMATIS, Duchess of Edinburgh. Large white 
flowering. Grows 8 to 10 ft. tall and produces a pro¬ 
fusion of large, double, pure white flowers in July, 
continuing for several weeks. 
CLEMATIS jackmani. A free and abundant bloomer, 
the flowers being a velvety violet purple. This is the 
most popular large flowering Clematis. 
CLEMATIS paniculata grandiflora. The finest of 
all small-flowered Clematis. In Midsummer the entire 
vine is clothed in a mass of white bloom. The vine is 
vigorous and a strong grower; very effective when 
intermingled with other Climbers. 
ENGLISH IVY (Hedera helix). Shiny, evergreen 
leaves. Extensively used for covering trunks of trees, 
walls or pergolas. Hardy, endures shade where grass 
fails. Plant English and Boston Ivy together for an 
all year covering. The Boston Ivy will cling to the 
wall, affording a support for the English variety, 
which remains green after the Boston Ivy has lost 
Wisteria its foliage. 
HALL’S HONEYSUCKLE (Lonicera japonica halliana). Arampant evergreen 
climber. Native of Japan. Leaves dark green, densely covering the vines and 
branches. White flowers changing to yel¬ 
low; delightfully fragrant; borne in abun¬ 
dance throughout the Summer. 
KUDZU-VINE (Pueraria thunbergi- 
ana). One of the most rapid growing 
vines in existence; unexcelled where 
quick effect is desired; leaves dark green 
of a soft woolly texture. Dark purple flow¬ 
ers produced in racemes 4 to 6 in. long. 
JAPANESE SPURGE (Pachysandra 
terminalis). One of the best ground 
covering plants, particularly valuable 
in shade, averaging 6 to 8 in. in height 
and branching freely into a dense mat. 
Its shapely indented foliage is practically 
evergreen; thick, rubbery; lustrous dark 
green. Should be set 4 in. apart each way. 
PITTSBURGH IVY. New, self-branching 
English Ivy. Very hardy 
PURPLE WINTERCREEPER (Euonym¬ 
us coloratus). Evergreen. For a ground 
cover in shade there are few things to 
equal this. The long narrow leaves are 
rosy-purple underneath and the veins 
pencilled in gray. Most adaptable. 
SILVER LACE VINE (Polygonum au- 
berti). This is one of the fastest growing 
vines we offer. It makes a vigorous growth 
attaining a height of 25 or more feet and 
producing in Summer and Fall great 
foamy sprays of white flowers. Its foliage 
is very clean and is not bothered by in¬ 
sects. It makes a beautiful showing on 
trellises, pergolas, etc. 
Silver Lace Vine 
Covering a rustic pergola in an informal garden 
at Boxwood Gardens 
TRUMPET VINE (Bignonia radicans). Excellent, 
all-purpose vine. Large, orange scarlet, trumpet¬ 
shaped flowers cluster at tip of branches. Leaves are 
light green. 
VINCA minor (Periwinkle). An old favorite trailing 
plant, blue flowers, dark green leaves, exceptionally 
attractive. Useful as a ground cover under trees 
where grass fails. 
VIRGINIA CREEPER or AMERICAN IVY (Ampe¬ 
lopsis quinquefolia). This well known native climb¬ 
er is one of the best and quickest growing varieties 
for covering trees, trellises and arbors. Its large deep 
green foliage assumes brilliant shades of crimson and 
scarlet in Fall. A heavy plant, requiring good sup port 
WISTERIA. Purple. One of the most elegant and 
rapid growing of all climbing plants. Blooms in long, 
pendulous clusters of pale blue flowers through May 
and June. Our plants are extra large and hardy.
