]S"o home is complete or satisfactory without 

 its selection of hardy ^ines. They clamber over 

 porch and arbor and cling to the very walls, clothing the harsh outlines of rough buildings -svith beauty and gTace; 

 ailord welcome shade and a profusion of exquisite bloom Ti-ith its accompaniments of gi^ateful color and delight- 

 ful perfume. Once planted they increase in sti'eugth and beauty from year to year, needing but the slightest care 

 to direct their growth. As they are intended for pennanent effect the vines should be> set far enough from the 

 budding to enable them to receive moistm^e from rains, but not placed directly under the drip of the eaves. All

Yeitchii, The famous Japan or Boston Ixj^ now well 

 known and indispensable for covering walls and build- 

 ings. It is one of the most useful of all vines, as it 

 clitigs fii-mlj- to stone, brick and wood, or buildings of 

 any material, makiug its wa}- up without assistance, 

 and is enth-ely hardy. It covers ever^-fhiug with a per- 

 fect mat Qf dark green, leathery leaves, overlapping 

 each other like tUes, thus shielding the building from 

 the hot Sim as shown above. The fohage is dark, 

 glossy green in su m mer, changing to the most brilliant 

 flaming crimson and gold at the approach of frost. 

 The Boston I^-y is in immense demand for di'aping 

 large buddings, churches, factories, etc., as it is ex- 

 ceedingly long-lived. Ea., 20c; 3 for50c;doz., 81. .50.

One of the finest 

 ^'l^^ of native plants ; a rank and 

 vigorous grower, but does not 

 '■ — ^ cling so fii'mly to blank waUs as 

 the preceding species. It rap- 

 idly covers old buildings, fences 

 and other imsightly objects, and 

 is especially desirable for drap- 

 ing large porches. The foliage 

 is larger than the Japanese va- 

 riety, a higher green during 

 summer, but changes in the au-
