The best vine for this purpose is the woodbine. 



the two forms may often be found growing side by side. In 

 the nurseryman's catalogue the form which climbs by adhesive 

 discs is usually called the variety Englemannii. One of the 

 strong points in favor of Ampeiopsis tricuspidata is its ability 

 to climb on various objects without assistance from the gard- 

 ener, but if one is careful to select the right variety of wood- 

 bine, it will climb on a board fence or stone wall as readily as

Of vines that climb by twining, probably the best for 

 screens is the Dutchman's pipe (Aristolochia sipho) , a plant na-
