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 Henryii, Jackmamii, 

 John Gould Veiteh, The Queen, Prince of Wales, Standishii, Etc. 



The well-known Japanese Ivy (Ampelopsis Veitchii) still retains its popularity. This and Engeimanni 

 are perhaps the most valuable of all the hai'dy vines that fasten to walls or buildings without support. 



Of the Honeysuckles the evergreen Halleana may be cla-ssed as the best, and is certainly unsurpassed 

 by bny Vine in flower and foliage. 



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