SEEDS OF CLIMBING PLANTS. 



CLimbers are indispensable, useful, and very ornamental plants, for 

 covering old buildings, walls, arbors, trellises, and stum])s with graceful 

 foliage, and beautiful rich colored, varied-shaped flowers in great pro- 

 fusion : the strong growing varieties for larger objects, and the more 

 delicate for j^ots, vases, baskets, and balcony decorations. Care should 

 be takeu in selecting those varieties suitable for the purpose they are 

 intended; also the necessary support must be furnished in time; if 

 neglected and the plants are left to grow wild, they cannot always be 

 made to assume good habits after once thus neglected.
