CONCERNING THIS 
GREENHOUSE 
It is one of our curvilinear, two 
compartment houses. It is ra- 
ther more ornamental than the 
straight roof type, and its curved 
roof gives considerable extra 
head room, which is a good thing 
to have if you want to grow the 
longer stemmed roses or single 
stemmed, fringy headed chry- 
santhemums. 
Having more than one com- 
partment is an advantage, for 
then you can have different 
temperatures and grow, say, 
roses in one and an assortment 
of general plants in another, or 
palms in the one next the potting 
room and—but get our Green- 
house Book! Ittells all about just 
these things, besides the many 
other questions you want so 
much to know concerning hay- 
ing a greenhouse of your own. 
The book will be forwarded without 
any expense fo you.

Vines With Attractive Berries 
(Supplementary article to the series “ Ornamental Fruits 
For Every Month”) 
E COMMONLY think of vines for 
their foliage and floral effects and 
very rarely consider their possibilities as 
ornamental fruits, and indeed there are 
but few vines that are attractive on account 
of their fruits alone. One of the best is the 
traveler’s joy (Clematis Virginiana), which 
is as handsome in fruit as it is when in flower. 
The fragrant, white blossoms are followed 
by fruits that have feathery tails, giving 
the effect of a cloud of smoke. 
Very beautiful are the bluish white 
and verdigris colors of the berry-like fruits 
of the Japanese Ampelopsis heterophylla. 
These colors are assumed before the berries 
attain their final dark violet blue, and as 
they frequently appear in all shades at one 
time in one cluster, the effect of the fruits 
on the mantle of green foliage is very 
striking. 
There is no vine more beautiful in fruit 
than the waxwork or false bittersweet 
(Celastrus scandens) when its orange yellow 
capsules burst in October and disclose 
the bright scarlet seeds which remain a long 
time on the branches. More beautiful 
perhaps than the native species is the Asiatic 
Celastrus orbiculatus (or C. articulatus and 
The orange-yellow capsules of the waxwork or 
false bittersweet burst open in October, disclosing 
bright scarlet seeds a
