BEAUTIFUL, HARDY 
CLIMBING VINES 
Flower-lovers and gardeners know how indispensable are Vines and 
Climbers for beautifying one’s place, especially near the house. Plant 
Clematis, Climbing Roses and Honeysuckles 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 three pages are the best | 
Climbers for arbors, arches, trellises, porches, etc. Remember how pretty | 
an arbor can be. American Ivy or even Grape-vines make a good covering. 
HARDY ENGLISH or 
LARGE-FLOWERED CLEMATIS 
The Large-flowered or Hardy English Clematises are considered the 
most beautiful of all our flowering vines. The flowers are large, often 
measuring 4 to 6 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. 
JACKMANII. A rare and beautiful hardy climbing vine of slender, 
twining growth, and bearing great wreaths and clusters of splendid 
purple flowers, 5 to 6 inches in diameter. This variety should be trimmed 
back in November, as its blossoms come on the new shoots.
