Another pretty mode of using it is to take one 

 centre pole and at about the height of nine feet, nail 

 spokes running out from main pole in wheel shape. 

 When the clematis blooms it makes a perfect giant 

 umbrella of white, an ideal spot under which to place 

 a seat. 



The akebia is not as generally grown as it would 

 be if people really knew its beauty and the fragrance 

 of its odd, chocolate brown, rubberlike flowers. The 

 leaf is rarely beautiful, being an enlarged edition of 

 the clover form. 



Bignonia grandiflora is the largest of the trumpet 

 flowers, having a salmon bloom of great magnificence. 

 It will, if given time, cover anything from an hum- 

 ble cot to a cathedral. 



For the first summer in a new home, gourd vines 

 will help out wonderfully. The flower is really ex- 

 quisite, the leaf form artistic, and the gourds will 

 provide one with lots of " bird bungalettes " to hang 

 through the garden the following spring, to rent for 

 a song to bluebirds and wrens.
