Hardy cHmbing plants are essential to 

 give that cozy, private appearance to the 

 home grounds. They are ideal for covering 

 garden houses, verandas, and porches 

 to provide shade and seclusion. Our list 

 includes many different kinds, some grown 

 for their fohage only but others produce 

 interesting and showy flowers during vari- 

 ous times of the year. Who does not ad- 

 mire the beautiful Wisteria with its lovely 

 large flower clusters during early spring? 

 There are the Honeysuckles noted for their 

 rich fragrance carried on the evening 

 breezes. For covering walls some of the 

 Ampelopsis are ideal and for the early 

 flowers of spring the Clematis varieties 

 can hardly be surpassed.
