Wisteria, with its great drooping flower clusters, is an excel- 

 lent porch drapery 



Vines for Ornament 



For covering unsightly objects, stumps, rocks, etc., 

 vines are always valuable. As porch draperies they 



keep off the sun and provide a cool, shady place, where it is a comfort to sit. 

 For covering walls of buildings they possess a distinct worth, for they take 

 away the bare appearance and give the mellow effect that is usually produced 

 by age alone. 



Vines are needed at every horne of any size to finish up the planting and 

 the house. No porch can be entirely comfortable without them, because they 

 both shade and screen. A half-dozen vines cost so little that everyone should 

 have them adding their beauty to the rest of the planting and to the buildings.
