VINES FOR THE COOLHOUSE 165 
Most of the vines described herein are light 
lovers, and, except where noted, no shading 
should be practised. In cases where plants 
show any inclination to burn, and a desire for 
shade, always use a “slat” trellis which breaks 
up the strong rays of the sun and yet admits 
sufficient light. To make this, lay two shingle 
laths on the ground about four feet apart, nailing 
plasterer’s laths across them, leaving the width 
of a lath between each two. Such screens can 
be made in very convenient lengths; twelve-foot 
shingle laths will be just right if cut in two. 
These medium-light lovers should be supported 
by wires as described in Chapter XIV, but it is 
always best to plant them on the north side of 
the house, because if planted on the south side 
they create too dense shade for the other plants. 
This objection does not hold in regard to stove 
vines, since other plants growing in a stove house 
invariably require shade. 
All temperatures mentioned below are for 
winter, when the plants are resting; during the 
growing season the houses should be run from 
five to ten degrees warmer. 
Most of us know— or think we know—what roses 
are; but have you ever cut the Maréchal Niel
