WHEN AND HOW TO PLANT 15 
as the stronger will soon overgrow and entirely 
exterminate the weaker. 
Vines can be transplanted the same as trees 
or shrubs. The first operation is to get the roots 
all dug up and clear. Then unfasten the vine at 
the top and tie the shoots together, when you can 
readily shift it to its new quarters. In the case 
of moving a vine which has been growing on a 
trellis, it sometimes will be necessary to move the 
trellis along with the plant. 
Should it be desired to cover with vines a 
building in course of construction, and which 
will not be finished until the planting season is 
past, get the vines at the proper time and put 
them in pots, keeping them tied to stakes; they 
can then be planted out at any time. You will 
gain a season by this means and that is certainly 
worth the extra work and trouble. 
In planting a variety of flowering vines try to 
arrange the colours nicely. Don’t bring two 
radically different coloured vines together; try 
to have the colours drift into one another as 
nearly as possible. ‘This suggestion is especially 
applicable to climbing roses, as you can get a 
rather unsightly mixture of colours with individ- 
uals of that class of vine. 
Another point that must not be overlooked
