18 HARDY CLIMBING VINES 
ORNAMENTAL VINES 
For Shade and Beauty 
A home planting is seldom complete without a few vines to lend added 
charm and grace not to be obtained from other sources. Vines furnish 
shade to the porch, the pergola, garden arbor, children’s playhouse, and 
are often employed for temporary shade over windows. When vines are 
planted near foundations the soil should be replaced with rich garden soil 
to obtain best results. 
BITTERSWEET (Celastrus) — A 
popular vine for covering walls 
and trellises. Handsome glossy 
foliage and large clusters of or- 
ange crimson fruits. Its graceful 
sprays of berries make charming 
winter decorations for the house. 
BOSTON IVY (Ampelopsis 
veitchii)—Clings to brick 
or stone without artificial 
fastening. The foliage is 
handsome dark green in 
summer, changing to crim- 
son and yellow in autumn. 
It is a little tender to es- 
tablish and requires pro- 
tection the first winter, but 
once established there is no 
further attention needed. 
CLEMATIS PURPLE 
(Jackmani)—A large flow- 
ered variety, the flowers 
often 4 to 6 inches in dia- 
meter. Intense violet pur- 
ple. Like the above-it re- 
quires some help the first 
year to become established. 
If possible plant to the 
south or east. 
CLEMATIS WHITE (Pan- 
iculata)—A rapid growing 
vine, with masses of me- 
dium-sized fragrant white 
flowers in Sept. 
HALL’S FRAGRANT HON- 
EYSUCKLE — One of the 
most popular hardy vines 
grown. Dark glossy foliage, 
almost evergreen with numer- 
ous white and yellow fragrant 
flowers. Adaptable to the most 
trying conditions; very rapid 
in growth. Used for general 
planting about play-houses, 
porches, arbors, and fences. 
TRUMPET CREEPER — A 
grand old favorite. Showy, or- 
ange-scarlet trumpet like flow- 
ers. A woody vine of vigor- 
ous growth for general planting. 
VIRGINIA CREEPER (Woodbine)—The well-known na- 
tive Ivy with five-parted leaves, coloring beautifully in the 
fall. Very hardy and vigorous in growth. Requires arti- 
ficial support for walls. 
PURPLE WISTERIA—Very desirable for heavy trellises, 
arbors, and pergolas. Pea-Shaped flowers of pleasing pur- 
ple in May in dense pendant clusters.
