VINES 



have grown it for the last twenty years — ^it has no 

 diseases. 



For verandas and porches the Honeysuckles 

 will probably afford better satisfaction because 

 of their less rampant habit. Also because of the 

 beauty and the fragrance of their flowers. Many 

 varieties are all-summer bloomers. The best of 

 these are Scarlet Trumpet and Halleana. The 

 vines can be trained over trellises, or large- 

 meshed wire netting, or tacked to posts, as suits 

 the taste of the owner. In whatever manner you 

 train them they lend grace and beauty to a porch 

 without shutting off the outlook whoUy, as their 

 foliage is less plentiful than that of most vines. 

 This vine is of rapid development, and so hardy 

 that it requires very little attention in the way 

 of protection in winter. The variety called Scar- 

 let Trumpet has scarlet and orange flowers. 

 Halleana has almost evergreen foliage and 

 cream-white flowers of most delightful fra- 

 grance. Both can be trained up together with 

 very pleasing effect. There are other good sorts, 

 but I consider that these two combine all the best 

 features of the entire list, therefore I would ad- 

 vise the amateur gardener to concentrate his 

 attention on them instead of spreading it out 

 over inferior kinds.
