VINES 
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 fra¬ 
grant, followed by greenish 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. Excellent for climbing 
over trees, walls, slopes and banks. 
A. quinquefolia Engelmanni 
Engelmann Ivy 
Does not differ much from the preceding 
variety except that it has generally smaller 
foliage and is a little more refined. 
Ampelopsis tricuspidata—Boston Ivy 
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. 
A. tricuspidata Lowi Low's Ivy 
A reduced edition of the common Bos¬ 
ton Ivy. A small slender vine and more 
delicate in every respect. Useful for 
low stone walls. Exquisite autumn 
coloring. 
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 
resemble a miniature pipe. 
BIGNONIA radicans Trumpet Vine 
An old friend of vigorous growth form¬ 
ing a spreading bush with arching 
branches. Placed against a building, 
tree, or trellis it will climb rapidly. 
Tropical-looking foliage. Trumpet- 
shaped scarlet flowers in midsummer. 
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 scar¬ 
let fruits. Very showy after the foliage 
has fallen. Sprays cut and brought into 
the house last for a long time. 
C. 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 dec¬ 
oration. 
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. 
C., Large-Flowering Hybrids 
Vines, 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 locations. 
Henryi. Large, creamy white flowers. 
Jackmani. Very popular purple variety. 
Mme. Edouard Andre. Rich bright red. 
Ramona. Lavender-blue. 
EUONYMUS. See Evergreen Shrubs. 
HEDERA helix English Ivy 
A clinging evergreen vine with beautiful 
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. 
Hedera 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 Heckrotti 
Golden Flame Honeysuckle 
A new everblooming Honeysuckle. A 
twisting, twining plant growing 15 to 20 
feet high. Flowers produced in clusters. 
Curved petals, red outside and yellow 
within. 
L. japonicG 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 pro¬ 
duced; 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 ch inense Matrimony-Vine 
Vigorous, woody vine of great value 
for trellises or embankments. Small, 
purple flowers in July, folowed by an 
abundance of orange-red fruits. 
POLYGONUM Auberti Silver Lace Vine 
Established plants will climb 25 feet 
during one season if given support. 
Produces 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 trel¬ 
lis 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 preceding 
variety.
