Vines and Trailers 



Then the wild clematis comes ^ with her 

 wealth of tangled blooms ^ —Goodale

UILDINGS, arches, pergolas and other architectural features are transformed 

 from objects bare to lovely pictures with the artistic use of vines and trailers. 

 The mellowing touch of vines and trailers creeping gracefully over old tree- 

 stumps, fences and walls, mercifully conceals their stark ugliness, and in nature's 

 own way changes them into arresting objects of beauty. 



In this list of plants you will find one or more varieties for this purpose.

A very hardy, Japanese climber of vigorous, 

 dense growth, with dark green leaves, silver
