HARDY VINES AND CLIMBERS. 



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

 Clematis Montana is also very desirable, as also the finer large growing kinds, such as Henryii, Jackmanni, 

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



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

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



Of the Honeysuckles the evergreen HaUeana may be classed as the best, and is certainly unsurpassed 

 by any Vine in flower and foliage. 



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