 A Good Support for Climbing Vines. 



There are many varieties, some of which will grow under 

 almost any condition of soil and exposure, and they do 

 not need much space. They can be trained along fences, 

 upon verandas, and the sides of buildings, or be made to 

 cover arbors and summer-houses. Upon the sides of 

 buildings they do best if carried away from the walls 

 ten inches or a foot upon wires or other supports.
