The following list embraces the most popular and satisfactory Climbing Vines that can easily be grown from seed in 

 One Season. The little care it takes to grow them successfully will be amply repaid, for there are few objects more 

 attractive and pleasing than vines twining and climbing in their own native and graceful beauty. The strong-growing 

 varieties will in a short time cover arbors, buildings and fences, and the tender sorts be found most desirable f^r pots, 

 boxes and hanging baskets. The Moon Flower from seeds makes thick, handsome vines in a short time. 



A most graceful climber ; the foliage and large bell- 

 shaped violet-colored flowers are verj- striking.
