ANNUAL VINES 



Among the annuals are many easily grown 

 plants of extraordinary value and beauty. The 

 morning-glories and moon-vines come under

 sweet-peas as belonging to the same division. 

 Early-growing nasturtiums — always effective 

 when trained on low wire trellises — yield lux-

 course of a season. All are readily grown from 

 seed and, with the exception of the sweet-peas, 

 which require elaborate treatment compared 

 with the others, will reward the planter with 

 quantities of blossom even when they are neg- 

 lected and abused. Their rapid growth makes 

 them especially useful as screens and frequently 

 an unsightly spot in the yard where, for in- 

 stance, a garbage can is kept, may be entirely 

 hidden from view in a comparatively short time 

 by the use of either nasturtiums or morning- 

 glories. The latter have the troublesome habit 

 of seeding themselves and when a vine is per-
