COLORFUL CLEMATIS 
While the large flowered Clematis are not as easily grown 
here as in colder regions, we have seen somie very excellent 
specimens here. The varieties listed below carry exquisite 
single bloom to 3 inches across. Plants should be cut back 
nearly to the ground each winter. Sun or light shade and 
moist conditions. Hardy. Gal. containers, $1.50. 
Henry. Frosty white. Jackman. Purple. Ramona. Blue. 
CLINGING FIG VINE 
Ficus pumila. The most satisfactory clinging evergreen 
vine for covering fireplace chimneys or any brick, stone, 
stucco or rough wood walls. The small bright green leaves 
and slender twigs appear neat through all seasons. Before 
planting cut vines back to about 4 inches. Sometimes is slow 
about starting but covers reasonably fast when well estab- 
lished. Hardy. Sun or shade. Gal. containers, $1.00. 
CAROLINA JESSAMINE 
Gelsemium sempervirens. A remarkably clean foliaged vine 
from Central America. In some years, as early as December 
each slender twining branchlet is laden with small mildly 
fragrant trumpets of clear canary yellow. Continues to bloom 
well into April. Small bright leaves. Grows reasonably fast. 
Sun or part shade. Very hardy. 5-gal. containers, $3.50; gal. 
containers, $1.00. 
BRILLIANT BLUE 
Hardenbergia comptoniana. If you appreciate (and we 
know you do) flowers that are a thoroughly clear deep blue 
you will surely want this vine. Many flowered clusters of 
pea-shaped flowers are bounteously displayed in spring and 
the narrow dark leaves are handsome in every season. An 
excellent vine for training on small pillars or for any sunny 
location where a vine of moderate proportions is indicated. 
Hardy except in very cold sections. 5-gal. containers, $3.50; 
gal. containers, $1.25. 
HANDSOME EVERGREEN IVY 
Hedera canariensis Yellowedge. Algerian Ivy. A hand- 
some vine from the Canary Islands that strings its huge lus- 
trous green, white edged leaves thickly along fast growing 
runners. An excellent cover for pergola or fence and as a 
ground cover in shaded or partly sunny locations it is highly 
effective. It may also be used to advantage in pots, either in 
the house or outside, and in window boxes. Grows more rap- 
idly than other ivies. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $3.50; gal. 
containers, $1.00; flats of about 100 plants, $6.20. 
GOLD FROM GUINEA 
Hibbertia volubilis. A vine remarkable for its waxy heavy 
textured foliage and prodigal quantities of 2-inch single bur- 
nished yellow flowers. Will provide a strong note of color 
for many weeks in late spring and early summer if planted 
in a warm sunny location. While chiefly used on fence, per- 
gola or trellis it is remarkably effective when clambering 
over rocks or banks. Hardy except in coldest spots. 5-gal. 
containers, $3.50; gal. containers, $1.25. 
SPANISH JASMINE 
Jasminum officinale grandiflorum. A rapid growing vine 
much prized for the full fragrance of its single white flowers 
and the lacy lightness of its soft foliage. Has been an easily 
grown favorite for many years. May also be trimmed into a 
3- to 5-foot shrub and grown without support. Sun. Hardy. 
5-gal. containers, $3.50; gal. containers, $1.00. 
GIANT HONEYSUCKLE 
Lonicera hildebrandiana. If you want a meek modest little 
vine don’t buy this variety for it is anything but. When it 
gets its feet in the ground it feels it has a job to do and forth- 
with sets out to do it. Its sturdy runners lined with great 
big glossy leaves start to travel and you wonder if they will 
ever stop. It makes an ideal vine trained against a large wall 
or when allowed to wander over trellis or pergola. And, be- 
sides, it has huge golden yellow flowers that will thrill you 
with their perfume. Hardy. Sun. 5-gal. containers, $4.50; 
gal. containers, $2.50. 
Lonicera japonica halliana. Hall’s Honeysuckle. Because 
of the denseness of its growth, evergreen characteristics, 
hardiness in any weather and subtle fragrance this vine has 
been a favorite for years. A remarkably effective cover for 
banks as it is drought resistant and hardy to frost. When 
used as a ground cover should be planted 3 feet apart. Sun. 
5-gal. containers, $3.50; gal. containers, $1.00. 
BOSTON IVY 
Parthenocissus (Ampelopsis) tricuspidata veitchi. Clings 
by means of aerial rootlets to any rough surface, either con- 
crete, stone or wood and forms a thick cover of handsome 
green. In autumn the foliage turns bright scarlet and ma- 
roon. After the leaves fall the thin branches present a deli- 
cate tracery effect. Grows rapidly in sun or shade. 5-gal. 
containers, $3.50; gal. containers, $1.00. 
UNIQUE BLOOM 
Passiflora alatocaerulea. An outstanding vine that combines 
unique flowers and lustrous foliage. Planted in a sunny lo- 
cation on fence or trellis this vine will spread its lustrous 
scalloped leaves quickly and at an early age will surprise you 
with its 4-inch star-shaped flowers of pink, white, purple and 
blue. Hardy except in very cold spots. Sun. 5-gal. contain- 
ers, $3.50; gal. containers, $1.25. $ 
MEXICAN BLOOD TRUMPET 
Phaedranthus buccinatorius (Bignonia cherere). From fall 
until summer the vigorous vine astounds us with its wealth 
of huge orange red trumpets. It is a prodigious grower, 
covers thoroughly and keeps its youthful appearance through 
all seasons. Sun or part shade. Hardy except in very cold 
areas. 5-gal. containers, $3.50; gal. containers, $1.25. 
SILVER LACE VINE 
Polygonum auberti. A rapid growing deciduous vine with 
brightly varnished leaves. Supplies great panicles of small 
exquisitely fragrant flowers in late summer. Will cover a 
large area in a short time. Sun or part shade. Particularly 
desirable in cold locations. 5-gal. containers, $3.50; gal. con- 
taiers, piluZor 
RAINBOW’S END 
Solandra guttata. Cup of Gold. As this vine thinks noth- 
ing of galloping madly to the top of a two-story house it be- 
hooves you to allow it plenty of room. It holds its huge pol- 
ished leaves through the year and in summer is a veritable 
gold mine of enormous cup-shaped flowers. Spectacular to 
say the least. Rather tender to frost. Sun. 5-gal. containers, 
$3.50; gal. containers, $1.25. 
WAXY STAR JASMINE 
Trachelospermum jasminoides. Not a new plant by any 
means but its popularity increases with the years. And well 
it should for the thickly clustered dark leaves are always 
attractive and the small white jasmine-like flowers are fra- 
grant beyond imagination. An excellent vine for any loca- 
tion. Valuable also for use as a ground cover. Hardy. Sun 
or shade. 5-gal. containers, $3.50; gal. containers, $1.50. 
JAPANESE WISTARIA 
Wistaria floribunda macrobotrys. Being the most rapid 
growing of the Wistarias this variety is particularly desirable 
for covering pergolas or small buildings. Racemes to 1% 
feet in length display their abundant pale blue flowers in 
spring. 5-gal. containers, $3.75. 
CHINESE WISTARIA 
Wistaria sinensis. In spring before the leaves appear short 
racemes of deep blue flowers are borne over the whole vine 
in eloquent profusion. (And please don’t tell us we’ve mis- 
used the word “eloquent”.) Hardy. Sun. 5-gal. containers, 
$3.75. 

Vines trained on fence or trellis make excellent screens 
for spaces too narrow to accommodate shrubs.
