Ornamental Climbers. 
This is a most useful and interesting class of yard 
‘and garden plants. Some are tender annuals, but 
many are hardy perennials, which will last indefinitely 
when once well established. By means of these climb- 
ers every home and dooryard may be adorned and 
made beautiful. Hach climber has its appropriate 
place and mission, whether to cover a bare wall, en- 
shroud an unsightly stump or tree trunk, decorate a 
trellis or fence, or festoon a veranda. My collection of
