20 VINES 
ADAMS NURSERY, Inc., SPRINGFIELD, MASS. 
ACTINIDIA arguta. Bower Actinidia 
A hardy Japanese climber of vigorous, 
dense growth and thick, shiny leaves. 
The white flowers in June are small and 
somewhat fragrant, followed by green¬ 
ish yellow fruits. They like a rich, moist 
soil and grow equally well in sunny or 
half-shaded locations. 
AMPELOPSIS quinquefolia. 
Virginia Creeper 
Native, hardy climber of very rapid 
growth. Rich green, deeply cut foliage, 
turning rich crimson in the fall. Excel¬ 
lent for climbing over trees, walls, slopes 
and banks. 
A. quinquefolia Engelmanni. 
Engelmann Ivy 
Does not differ much from the preced¬ 
ing variety except that it has generally 
smaller foliage and is a little more 
refined. 
A. tricuspidata (Veitchi). Boston Ivy 
Perhaps the most popular Ivy because 
its adhesive tips cling tenaciously to 
most any vertical wall. The beautiful, 
overlapping foliage turns striking au¬ 
tumn colors. A rapid-growing vine, ex¬ 
cellent for brick, stone, or stucco walls, 
clinging without artificial fastening. 
ARISTOLOCHIA Sipho. Dutchmans-Pipe 
A very rapid-growing vine with very 
large, light green leaves which retain 
their color from early spring to late fall. 
Peculiar brownish flowers which re¬ 
semble a miniature pipe. 
BIGNONIA radicans. Trumpet Vine 
An old friend of vigorous growth 
forming a spreading bush with arching 
branches. When placed against a build¬ 
ing, tree, or trellis it will climb rapidly. 
Tropical-looking foliage. Produces in 
midsummer its trumpet-shaped scarlet 
flowers. 
BOSTON IVY. See Ampelopsis tricuspi¬ 
data. 
CELASTRUS orbiculatus. 
Oriental Bittersweet 
An Oriental shrub which will climb if 
given support. In the fall it produces an 
abundance of brilliant orange and scarlet 
fruits. Very showy after the foliage has 
fallen. Sprays cut and brought into the 
house last for a long time. 
VINES 
Clematis Henryi 
Celastrus scandens. Common Bittersweet 
This native variety is similar to, and 
just as desirable as the Oriental type. 
The colorful clusters of orange and scar¬ 
let fruits are very popular for home 
decoration. 
CLEMATIS paniculata. 
Sweet Autumn Clematis 
Very popular, fast-growing vine which 
with support will climb 20 to 25 feet. 
Neat glossy foliage and in September is 
completely covered with fragrant, white, 
star-shaped flowers. Later its feathery 
seed-pods create the illusion of a second 
blooming period. 
CLEMATIS, Large-flowering Hybrids. 
Vines from 6 to 12 feet, requiring a 
trellis or wire support. Very desirable 
because of their large, showy flowers, 5 
to 6 inches across in midsummer. They 
thrive best in a rich, limestone soil and 
should not be planted in exposed loca¬ 
tions. 
Henryi. Large, creamy white flowers. 
Jackmani. Very popular purple variety. 
Mme. Edouard Andre. Rich bright red. 
EUONYMUS. See Evergreen Shrubs. 
HEDERA Helix. English Ivy 
A clinging evergreen vine with beauti¬ 
ful dark, glossy green foliage. Holds 
fast to brick and stone walls but is sensi¬ 
tive to our New England winters. It is 
used more as a ground-cover in pro¬ 
tected, semi-shaded locations. 
H. Helix baltica. Baltic Ivy 
Hardier than the preceding variety, 
with smaller foliage. A really improved 
sort for New England. 
HYDRANGEA petiolaris. 
Climbing Hydrangea 
A choice hardy climber that deserves 
more extensive cultivation. Will climb 
brick, stone, and cement walls, without 
support. Foliage bright green, with an 
abundance of large, flat, fragrant, white 
blooms in June. 
LONICERA japonica Halliana. 
Japanese Honeysuckle 
An excellent climber with smooth, 
glossy dark green foliage. Large, fra¬ 
grant, white flowers turning yellow; a 
most constant bloomer. Very desirable 
for roadside and bank plantings. 
L. sempervirens. 
Scarlet Trumpet Honeysuckle 
High climbing vine with neat dark 
green foliage. Orange-scarlet, tubular¬ 
shaped flowers in terminal clusters from 
May to September. Endures semi¬ 
shade. 
L. sempervirens magnifica. 
A magnificent new Honeysuckle with 
large, coral-colored blooms and beauti¬ 
ful blue-gray-green foliage. The brilliant 
and cheerful flowers are freely produced; 
a worth-while novelty. 
L. Tellmanniana. 
Giant Golden Honeysuckle 
A new, strong-growing, hardy climber 
with large, pale green leaves and long, 
giant, tubular flowers of an intensely 
rich golden yellow, tipped with bronzy 
red. Blooms in June. 
LYCIUM chinense. Matrimony-Vine 
Vigorous, woody vine of great value 
for trellises or embankments. Small, 
purple flowers in July, followed by an 
abundance of orange-red fruits. 
POLYGONUM Auberti. Silver Lace-Vine 
Established plants will climb 25 feet 
during one season if given support. Pro¬ 
duces foamy sprays of creamy white 
flowers during the summer and fall 
months. An excellent vine for covering 
waste spaces, ugly buildings, and fences. 
WISTERIA sinensis. 
Purple Chinese Wisteria 
This well-known, desirable vine gives 
a distinct Oriental appearance to any 
trellis or garden house. After becoming 
established, it will produce a great pro¬ 
fusion of showy, purple, pendulous 
blooms of rich fragrance. 
W. sinensis alba. White Chinese Wisteria 
A white-flowering form of the preced¬ 
ing variety.
