Climbing Vines 



Why not clothe the walls of your house with 

 Nature's garments, those climbing vines which 

 constitute an ever changing tapestry of beauty 

 throughout the year? We have more and better 

 vines this season than ever before, and they are just 

 what a house needs to give it a sense of true charm 

 and to substitute for the tawdriness of man-built 

 brick or wood, the glorious handiwork of Mother 

 Nature herself.
