Ornamental Vines 
2-year, No. 1 Field-grown Plants 
Ampelopsis quinquefolia. Virginia Creeper. This vine, more correctly 
known as Parthenocissus, is one of our most vigorous native climbers. 
While it adapts itself readily to trellises and arbors, it is often found 
clambering over stone walls. Each autumn season its foliage is 
clothed in shades of gold and scarlet. 
Ampelopsis quinquefolia Engelmanni. Engelmann’s Ivy. Smaller 
leaves of leathery texture, as well as a denser growth-habit, char¬ 
acterize this improved variety. 
Ampelopsis Veitchi. Boston Ivy. Almost too well known to need de¬ 
scription, this vigorous climber seems to thrive even under smoky 
city conditions, making a rich mass of dark green foliage. Its ability 
to cling to almost any surface and its rich autumn color are among 
its desirable qualities. 
Aristolochia Sipho. Dutchman’s Pipe. The curious brownish pipe¬ 
shaped flowers are a delight to children and the large heart-shaped 
leaves make a dense screen. Few vines are better adapted to porches 
or pergolas. 
Bignonia radicans. Trumpet Vine. Luxuriant foliage and brilliant 
clusters of orange-scarlet flowers make this American vine a worthy 
adjunct to any garden. It may be trained on old tree stumps or on 
trellises, or it may even be allowed to grow wild. 
Celastrus orbiculatus. Oriental Bittersweet. This Asiatic form of 
Bittersweet is known for its dense foliage and its abundant fruits. 
Celastrus scandens. American Bittersweet. Here is a vigorous climb¬ 
ing plant that will grow readily in partial shade. To prevent it from 
becoming too rampant, it should be pruned frequently. The familiar 
autumn fruits are always useful for indoor decoration. 
Hedera Helix. Large-leaf English Ivy. Few plants are richer in tex¬ 
ture or of more enduring beauty than the English Ivy. It may be used 
effectively on brick or stone walls or treated as a ground-cover. 
Hedera Helix. Small-leaf English Ivy. Of more delicate form, this 
variety is best enjoyed when its graceful branches make tracery on 
brick or stone walls. As a ground-cover in shady places it is equally 
valuable.
