Beautiful Hardy Climbing Vines 
Flower lovers and gardeners know how indispensable are vines and climbers for beautifying ones place, 
especially near the house. Plant Clematis, climbing roses and Honeysuckles about the front porches with per- 
haps 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 Creeperalso is good. Onthe next 4 pages are the best climbers for arbors, arches, trel- 
lises, porches, ete. Remember how pretty an arbor can be, American Ivy or even grape vines make a good

Hardy English 
or Large Flowered Clematis 
Note—The Large Flowered or Hardy English Clematis 
are considered the most beautiful of all our flowering 
vines. The flowers are large, often measuring four to six 
inches across and are borne in great wreaths and clusters 
during July and August. The colors range from rich, 
royal purple to pearly white. The vines are of slender, 
wiry growth and require some support that they can 
twine around, like a rod, pole or wire, and if the location 
is somewhat moist and partially shaded, so much the 
better ; the north side of the house or porch is often the 
best place for them ; hardy, but a mulch of leaves or litter 
around the roots at least the first season, will be an ad- 
vantage.
