Climbing Vines 
Their graceful foliage alone would be a rich reward for their use but many 
vines have beautiful flowers as well. They make a lavish contribution in varied 
color, they perfume Summer nights with rare odors. A pergola, gracefully wall- 
ed with vines is a delightful out-of-door room for Summers day. 
We feel that our fine varieties of ornamental vines are a most valuable con- 
tribution to landscape gardening. 
AMPELOPSIS IVY 
AMPELOPSIS quinquefolia (Virginia Creeper), A 
well known, very rapid growing vine exten- 
sively used for covering walls, verandas, trunks 
of trees. Turn rich crimson in Autumn. 
LONICERA - Honeysuckle 
LONICERA japonica halliana (Hall’s Japanese 
Honeysuckle), Excellent as a ground cover as 
well as a climbing vine. Blossoms open white, 
then turn to yellow, appearing in early Sum- 
mer and September. Fruit is yellow, very 
showy against green leaves in Winter. The 
vine is evergreen until Midwinter. 
- sempervirens (Scarlet Trumpet Honeysuckle). 
The Trumpet shape flowers of this vine ot 
bright scarlet make it unusually attractive. 
Flowers appear in June and continue until Sep- 
tember. Leaves are a rich, dark green and 
gray underneath. Fruits in Autumn, yellow ana 
hang in clusters well into the Winter. Rapid 
grower spreading 10 to 15 ft. 
WISTERIA 
WISTERIA sinensis alba (White Chinese Wisteria). 
An exceptionally rapid growing, tall vine, pro- 
ducing flowers of pure white in dense pendu- 
lant clusters, 8 to 12 in. long. May and June. 
Foliage is grayish-green in color. Standard 
tree form is available, 
W. sinensis (Chinese Wisteria, Purple). A vine ot 
the same habits and leaf as the white varieties 
except producing purple flowers in large pen- 
dulant clusters. Lilac-like in form. 
A. quinquefolia engelmanni (Engelmann Creeper), 
A splendid climber growing 6 to 10 ft. in a 
season. This variety has become very popular L 
because of its ability to cling to walls, etc., 
without wire trellis. Especially desirable for 
covering smal! wall areas, 
A. tricuspidata (Veitch Boston Ivy). Considered 
one of the best climbers for covering walls 
and clings firmly to the smoothest surface. 
The color of the leaves is a fresh deep green 
in Summer changing to bright shades of crim- 
son and yellow in Autumn. Somewhat tender 
and slow growing when young, yet is perfectly 
hardy and grows faster once it becomes estab- 
lished. Plants sould be planted 4 to 5 ft. apart 
and should be protected the first Winter 
planted. 
CELASTRUS 
CELASTRUS orbiculatus (Oriental Bittersweet). 
Rapid growing, producing an abundance of 
brilliant orange-scarlet fruit in small clusters 
at the axils of the leaves. Berries make a fine 
Winter decoration. Grows as well in the shade as in the sun. 
C. scandens. (American Bittersweet), A hardy, vigorous, native va- 
riety. Fruit is yellow, turning ot a brilliant crimson, 
CLEMATIS 
Of all the vines used either for shade or decoration, very few, it 
any, are superior to the Clematis. 
CLEMATIS paniculata (Sweet Autumn Clematis). Attractive, grow- 
ing 20 to 30 ft. with unusual rapidity. Luxuriant growth and wil! 
stand frequent cutting back. Foliage is a beautiful green, pro- 
duces fragrant, starlike white flowers borne in immense sheets in 
reckless abundance late in the season.

beauty are needed, this is an excellent plant and will grow vigor- 
ously first season. Is a hardy, twining, woody perennial creating 
entirely new growth each season. Produces white fragrant flow- 
ers in August.
