HARDY VINES AND CLIMBERS. 



Perhaps the most valuable addition to the list of Hardy Planting Vines is Clematis Paniculata. 

 Clematis Montana is also very desirable, as also the finer large growing kinds, such as Henrjii, Jiwkinanni, 

 John Gould Veitch, The Queeu, Prince of Wales, Standishii, Etc. 



The \^•ell-kIlown Japanese Ivy (Anipelopsis Veitchii) still retains its popularity. This and Eugelmanni 

 are perhaps the most valuable of all the hardy vines that fasten to walls or buildings without suppoi t. 



Of the Honeysuckles the evergreen Halleana may be clas-sed as the best, and is certainly uu.surpassed 

 by any Vine in flower and foliage. 



Attention is called to the Vines for growing in shady places, page 40.
