THE BLOSSOM CIRCLE OF THE YEAR 



ROSE VINES ARE NEVER MORE CHARMING THAN ON A PERGOLA TRELLIS 

 The plants shown will be more effective as they grow larger. As to the piece of pipe with 

 the Palm in the center of the bed— does anyone think it attractive? ' 



very closely, does not have to be supported or fastened to the 

 wall, as do the Hederas and Euonymus, and is very delicate and 

 dainty. It makes a thick green mass, of almost the same color. 

 Its leaves are very dark green, finely marked, and unless the 

 Winter is very severe it is hardy and evergreen in the latitude of 

 Augusta. If killed down in the Winter, it very quickly puts out 

 in the Spring and grows many feet each season. It is not hardy 

 farther north. 



The bristly Greenbrier, Smilax Bona-nox, which is evergreen 

 in the South, is one of the most beautiful of the wild vines. It 

 is always of a beautiful clear color, the young leaves are of a del- 

 icate green and for covering columns and for an evergreen screen 

 where a dense growth is required nothing will give more satis- 

 faction.
