THE GARDEN AND ITS ACCESSORIES 



Other perennial vines and climbers that 

 thrive on arbors are trumpet creeper, 

 wistaria, Virginia creeper, akebia, Hall's 

 honeysuckle, actinidia, Dutchman's pipe, 

 grapevine, both edible and ornamental, 

 Euonymus Radicans, matrimony-vine and 

 all the clematises. 



One cannot condemn too strongly the 

 impatient habit of growing annual vines 

 with perennials in order to get an immedi- 

 ate effect. They will choke out the latter, 

 and if they don't actually kill these climbers,' 

 upon which the ultimate effect depends, 

 they overpower all and retard the growth. 

 Many annual vines are charming, but they 

 should be given a place by themselves. If 

 the perennial vines that are here mentioned 

 are given the proper care, i. e., plenty of food ' 

 and the surface of the ground about the 

 roots kept broken all summer, there is no 

 reason why they should not clothe an arbor 

 in three seasons.
