Beautiful Hardy Climbing Vines 
Flower lovers and gardeners know how 
indispensable are vines and climbers for beau- 
tifying one’s place, especially near the house. 
Plant Clematis, Climbing Roses and Honey- 
suckles about the front porches with perhaps 
a vine or two of the Chinese Wistaria to 
climb as high as the roof. Stone or brick walls 
are always prettier when ivy clad. Then 
going around to the rear of the house if you 
have a trellis to cover, or want a screen for 
certain buildings, get more Honeysuckles, and 
if you need something to cover a large space 
quickly, try the Kudzu vine; the Trumpet 
Creeper also is good. On the next four pages 
are the best climbers for arbors, arches, trel- 
lises, porches, etc. Remember how pretty an They make a 
arbor can be. American Ivy or even Grape veritable sheet 
Vines make a good covering. : of bloom
