 We know of nothiufr nicer .o- better for a trellis for creeping 

 vines than the above nettinfr. The 12 to 24 inch is .iust the 

 thintr to train up green pe.as, fastening: the netting to stakes 

 by means of staples. It the stakes are set in substantially, 

 one each 12 or 15 feet will answ er. When the peas are stripped 

 off the stakes, netting: and all can be i oiled up and laid away 

 until another season. A. I. ROOT, Medina, O.
