vine is adaptable for growing on the side of the 

 house or favored outbuildings. 



Very often the annual climbers, produced from 

 seed and living but a single season, are found

Cobea grows to a height of ten to twenty feet, 

 and produces large bell-shape flowers, while the 

 Cypress Vine is a plant having finely cut foliage 

 and starlike flowers of white or scarlet.

 large spikes of flowers that stand out boldly from 

 the beautiful foliage. The Moonflower will grow 

 twenty to thirty feet in a season, and bear hun-

 ness transformed into beauty, the entire hillside
