VINES FOR MANY USES 
Much charm may be added to homes and gardens by the use of vines. Unsightly buildings, 
raw corners, crude fences, old posts, stumps, and unsightly rock piles are easily transformed 
into points of beauty and interest when covered with a vine of some sort. Vines soften lines and 
create beauty. The expense is small and the returns are big. 
Aristolochia durior — Dutchman’s Pipe Vine. 
A rapid-growing vine with very large leaves and 
unique, brownish flowers which resemble miniature 
tobacco pipes. $1.75 each. 
Campsis radicans — Trumpet Vine. 
Old favorite, twining vine with exotic, showy 
orange-scarlet trumpets from late July to Septem- 
ber. Often used for covering stumps; if trained on 
a tall stake and its longest shoots cut back occa- 
sionally, it looks like a small flowering tree. 
$1.00 each. 
Celastrus scandens — American Bittersweet. 
Orange-red berries that typify autumn in New 
England woods. $1.00 each. 
Clematis paniculata — Sweet Autumn Clematis. 
Twining vine for covering fences, trellises, arbors, 
etc. Sometimes used as a groundcover in shady 
spots. In September it is covered with fragrant, 
white, star-shaped flowers followed by feathery 
seed-pods as ornamental as flowers. $1.00 each.

and steep banks. Bluish black fruits are eaten by

We hope to once again have the white Ladyslippers by late June of 1955. We sold out much 
sooner than anticipated last year.
