HE climbing plants catalogued under the above heading will bloom and attain perfection the 
same season from seed. For immediate effects in covering trellises, arbors, piazzas, walls, 
old trees, houses, etc., they are indispensable, and in addition to their usefulness for shade and 
covering unsightly objects they add a grace and beauty to the surroundings, unattainable without 
them. Many of them will grow 20, 30 and even 40 feet, but unfortunately being of only one year’s 
duration it is necessary to sow seed each season. For permanent effects it is advisable to grow the hardy perennial varieties 
catalogued on page 91, which, however, are of slower growth. Full cultural directions given on each packet.
