Clematis paniculata
Clematis • Virgin's Bower
Clematis are among the most beautiful of
the climbing vines. The flowers are borne in
great profusion, and are of such a beautiful
luster and lasting quality, sometimes remaining on the plants from six to eight weeks, that
there is nothing its equal at the season of their
bloom. The large-floWering varieties are hard
to start. They must be planted in very rich,
well-drained soil. If charcoal can be procured,
with not too great an expense, and placed at
least a foot thick underneath the plants, for
drainage, they will grow more readily. The
next best is coal ashes, sand or leaf-mold. As
the roots are very fleshy, if no drainage is given,
too much water in the summer will rot them,
and very often if left without any water they
will die from lack of moisture. When well
established, after the first year, they seem to
flourish with ordinary care.
Jackmani.    Large,   velvety   purple   flowers.
Most popular variety.
Henryi.  Large, creamy white flowers.
Mme.   Edouard   Andre.     Large,   violet-red
flowers.
Paniculata.    A  strong-growing   variety  with
small, star-like flowers, delicately scented.
Lonicera • Honeysuckle
Brachypoda. White flowers; keeps its foliage
until late in autumn.
Halliana. Hall's Japan Honeysuckle. A
free-growing vine with white flowers changing to yellow; deliciously scented.
Sempervirens. Scarlet-Trumpet Honeysuckle.
A very desirable climbing vine and the
best of its sort. A profusion of scarlet,
trumpet-shaped flowers are borne in
clusters on nice, long stems during the
entire season, which are very desirable for
cutting. The leaves are of a peculiar bluish
green color.
Lycium • Matrimony Vine
Chinense. Although classed as a vine it is
really a trailing shrub, and is well adapted
for covering walls, fences, arbors, and other
trellis work, but is perhaps the most beautiful when the branches are pendent from
rocks or from the top of walls, or banks.
It is especially attractive in fall, when the
branches are strung their entire length with
transparent, brilliant crimson fruit.
Wistaria
Frutescens. Purple. A very rapid-growing
vine of American origin, with small, pale
blue, fragrant flowers.
Sinensis alba. Similar to the former, but
with pure white flowers that remain longer
on the vine. The plant is not so vigorous
until well established.
