OGerias 
There is a much wider range of varieties than is generally 
thought. Descriptions below are condensed because the species 
to which each variety belongs covers the major points. The two 
important species are: Wisteria Sinensis, the Chinese Wisteria, 
characterized by large fragrant flowers in compact clusters of 
medium length, They come into bloom very young and all the 
flowers in each cluster open at about the same time before any 
leaves appear. Wisteria Floribunda, which is better known as 
Wisteria Mu!tijuga or Japanese Wisteria, has long slender racemes 
of smaller flowers. Those at top are fully open while the lower 
ones are only small unopened buds. This, of course, lengthens the 
blooming period until the leaves are pretty well out. All our stock 
is grafted and grown in a special manner to induce early bloom 
rather than a lot of useless wood. Seedlings or plants improperly 
propagated may go eight or ten years without ever producing a 
flower. We maintain that if wood is the main thing wanted, it is 
more economical to patronize a lumber yard than a nursery. All 
our Wisterias have flowered in the nursery before they are sold.

White Japanese Wisteria. Last of all to flower and very pro- 
fuse bloomer. Snow white. 
Floribunda “Issai” 3-yr. No. 1 grafted, Hach $2.25 
A very fine thing, entirely distinct and having many excellent 
qualities. Flowers have much deeper color than common Japa- 
nese and are borne very profusely. It is also decidedly pre-

mental, 
FPloribunda, ‘“Kyushaku”’ 3-yr. No. 1 grafted, Each $2.00

exaggeration but flower clusters are supposed to attain three 
to four feet on old vines.

ally measured clusters well over four feet long and there is

fertilize heavily in autumn after the leaves have fallen, but 
not in spring or during the growing season.

Cree Wisteria 
No more lovely sight can be imagined than a Tree Wisteria in 
bloom, The purplish blue flowers are produced by the hundreds 
and completely cover the tree during May, transforming it into a 
thing of sheer beauty. In formal gardens Tree Wisterias are 
indispensable. On the lawn they develop into beautiful specimens 
and live for generations, increasing in beauty and dignity each 
successive season. The plants we offer are grown on stems about 
4 feet high and the crowns are about 2% to 3 feet in diameter. 
Every plant has bloomed before it leaves our nursery.
