EVER-BLOOMING ROSES AND VINES 259 



not. One or two of these vines might be used on 

 the garden fence. It may be transplanted with 

 impunity from the woods any time of the year. 



The best vine for the house is Wistaria; purple 

 and white. In time it will grow to be part of the 

 house and its gnarled, tree-like trunk is most pic- 

 turesque with its arms stretched about the walls 

 in a loving embrace. Train it in the way that it 

 should go, and keep it away from windows and 

 doors. It is a good vine for the porch. The pur- 

 ple is the better, for the white is too intense, too 

 funereal, with its drooping clusters weeping with 

 exactness from the canopy of leaves. This vine is 

 a little too heavy for a small garden unless there 

 should be an old wall in it, along which it might 

 be trained with good effect. 



The best vines to use in the flower garden on 

 piers, arches, posts or fences, are:

DAWSON BALTIMORE BELLE 



EVERGREEN GEM GARDENIA 



CRIMSON RAMBLER
