HOBBS & SONS, BRIDGEPORT, INDIANA 33 Hardy Vines The need of vines for home improvement is well known, and there is absolutely nothing that adds more to the beauty of the home than appropriate vines. A porch without a vine is desolate and incomplete. Vines are exception- ally valuable for turning unsightly fences and buildings into things of beauty. AMPELOPSIS American Ivy or Virginia Creeper (A. quinque- folia). One of the finest vines for covering walls, verandas or trunks of trees; foliage green, turning to a rich-crimson in autumn; a rapid grower and quickly fastens to any- thing it touches. Boston Ivy (Veitchii). Leaves smaller than the American; form a dense sheet of green as leaves overlap each other; is a little difficult to start, but when once established requires no further care; foliage changes to a crimson- scarlet in the fall; very valuable for covering brick or stone structures, rockeries, walls, etc. Engelmann's Ivy or Woodbine (A. quinquefolia, var. Engelmanni). A type of quinquefolia which has long been desired. It has shorter joints and smaller and thicker foliage. It is better equinned with tendrils, by which it will climb walls of stone or brick as closely as the Veitchii (Boston Ivy). It should be planted in the Central and Northwestern States in place of the Veitchii, as it is perfectly hardy, withstanding heat and cold much better. ARISTOLOCHIA Dutchman's Pipe. A native species of climbing habit and rapid growth; light-green foliage, and pipe-shaped yellowish-brown flowers. BIGNONIA - Tecoma Trumpet Creeper (B. Radicans). A hardy climbing plant with large trumpet-shaped, scarlet flowers appearing in August. Flour- ishes everywhere under the most unfavorable conditions, and is always pretty.
