pensable for permanent decoration of arbors, houses, walls, old trees, etc. Am- 
pelopsis and Kenilworth Ivy cling from rootlets thrown out along the stems and 
therefore are self-supporting, and in consequence extensively used for covering stone 
and brick houses, walls, old trees, etc. Clematis, trained over low shrubs, is one of 
the most beautiful objects when in bloom; and for picturesque beauty nothing can 
exceed that of the Bignonia or Wistaria when twining around and through tree-tops, with suspend- 
ing panicles of gay flowers. (For climbers which attain perfection the first season, see pages 
83 to 85.) Full cultural directions given on each packet.
