WISTARIA FLORIBUNDA ROSEA (Rose Weeping Wistaria). An interesting variation; 
a favored color in Japan is this superior variety of Pink Weeping Wistaria. All 
vines are produced from selected stock plants. Flovrer clusters of medium length 
on young plants; 24 to 30 inches on established vines. This Wistaria "with its 
lovely clear pink clusters is a real sensation. To meet the growing demand for 
pink flowers, we have introduced this desirable novelty. 
WISTARIA FLORIBUNDA ROSEA ALABAMA. Origin in Alabama and sold to us as 
Rosea. As its pink color is slightly tinted with lavender, we have given this 
variety the above name to distinguish it from the true Rosea. 
WISTARIA FLORIBUNDA ROYAL PURPLE. Multijuga form, deep violet color, out of 
the ordinary and very striking. Clusters 15 to 18 inches long. 
WISTARIA FLORIBUNDA RUBRUM. Deep pink or red. We have not seen this variety 
in bloom and have no first-hand knowledge of the size of flowers nor the color. 
Our plants came to us direct from Japan, from one of the better nurseries in that 
country. 
WISTARIA FLORIBUNDA SHIRO NODA. White form of Murasaki Noda. Bloom clusters 
24 to 30 inches long. Also called "Fringe or Lacy Wistaria." The plants offered 
were produced from scions or cuttings taken from a flowering vine in New Jersey. 
WISTARIA FLORIBUNDA VIOLACEA PLENA. This variety is of great decorative value. 
Its substantial looking flowers are not unlike double Russian violets, a deep violet 
blue, and it is rated as being the deepest colored of all the double wistaria. 
Clusters of medium length. 
WISTARIA FLORIBUNDA represents the type of Japanese longcluster wistaria as grown 
from seed. Numerous fine varieties with pure white, lavender, or deep purple 
flowers have been produced from twelve to eighteen inches. We have a large 
field of these seedlings which promise to produce many splendid specimens or 
individuals that are worth perpetuating under names or numbers. We are offer¬ 
ing plants of this type, but there are not two plants producing exactly the same 
size and color of bloom. 
WISTARIA FLORIBUNDA ALBA. Same description as Floribunda, the principal differ¬ 
ence is absence of color. A good pure white flower; clusters medium length. 
Fragrant as all white Wistaria. 
WISTARIA FLORIBUNDA LONGISSIMA is raised from seeds produced from extremely 
longcluster sorts or garden varieties. Many of these seedlings produce flower 
clusters 24 to 30 inches long and frequently longer. From such seedlings are 
selected plants that produced the superior sorts we aro offering. We have hun¬ 
dreds of this variety, but do not expect any two of them will be alike. 
CXmerican Vl^istana 
WISTARIA SPECIOSA (frutescens). Not as vigorous as the Oriental Wistaria. Climbs 
over trees and bushes to a length of 30-40 feet. Has dark green foliage and short 
racemes of lilac-purple flowers borne about 3 weeks after W. Chinensis. Racemes 
2 to 7 inches long, about 14-flowered. Prefers low ground and is native from 
Virginia to Kansas and Florida to Louisiana. In full leaf while flowering. The 
horticultural varieties are alba with white flowers, and magnifica with racemes 
6-8 inches long and 50 to 60 flowers one inch across. The flowers are lilac with 
a yellow spot, and borne earlier than the type. The clusters are larger and 
denser. A great improvement over the wild native type.
