Vines That Bloom for a Month 



LET us cast our botany to the winds and 

 divide our vines into permanent and 

 temporary species. The great majority of 

 the second class are annuals or are too 

 tender to survive a northern winter. They 

 are specially adapted to obtain quick effects. 

 while the slower-growing but more permanent 

 ones are getting a start. In a few weeks 

 from planting, these vines will be in blossom, 

 and, if selected for succession, their attractive- 

 ness will la>t until "Jack Frost" comes. 



TEMPORARY VINES 



A few plants of Cobaea scandens, if started 

 from seed sown indoors in March, can be 

 set outdoors as scon as the ground becomes 

 warm. Give them a few stout cords to 

 twine upon. They produce purple, bell- 

 shaped, long-stemmed flowers from mid- 

 summer onward, and in light soil with plenty 

 of sun they often climb fifteen feet and make 

 a fairly good screen for a porch by August. 



The moonflower or evening-glory (Ipomoea 

 Bona-nox) is treated in much the same way 

 and will often do better as a screen. Its 

 large trumpet-shaped, white, often fragrant, 

 flowers open during twilight and sometimes 

 last until noon of the following day. They 

 usually expand so fast that you can see them 

 move, a bud often becoming a full-blown flower 

 within a minute. 



Morning-glories {Ipomcea purpurea) grow 

 rapidlv from seed sown in early spring in 

 the open ground. In very rich soil the vines 

 often reach fifteen feet, but flower less than in 

 poorer ground. If neglected, the plants 

 sometimes become weeds because cf their 

 self-sowing habits. 



The hyacinth bean {Dolichos Lablab) 

 attains similar heights and makes an abun- 

 dant show of leaves from which long-stemmed 

 clusters cf purple flowers extend in mere cr 

 less profusion. 



The scarlet runner or painted lady bean 

 {Phaseolus multiflorits) has long been a 

 favorite for its brilliant red blossoms. Both 

 grow readilv from seed sown in earlv spring 

 where the plants are to remain. 



PERMANENT VINES 



The permanent grcup naturally divides 

 into herbaceous and woody species. Of 

 the former, the perennial pea (I.athyrus 

 latijolius) is a favorite old garden plant with 

 rose-colcred flowers. It will grow anywhere 

 and everywhere, but must not be in the border 

 with other plants, because it usurps their 

 places and food. It is very useful in covering 

 stones and rubbish heaps. 



The ground-nut (Apios tuberom) is inter- 

 esting chieflv because of its chocolate-
