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 Creep>er 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. 

 JACKMANU. 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. 

 RAMONA. A strong, hardy grower and very free and almost perpetual 



bloomer; flowers very large and borne in great profusion, deep 



sky-blue and very 



handsome.
