Hardy  Ornamental  Vines 
Climbing  Vines  are  as  necessary  to  the  comfort  and  beauty  of  a  home  as  the  trees  and  shrubs 
we  plant  about  it.  Indeed,  nothing  so  quickly  tones  down  the  roughness  of  a  new  place  as  some 
of  our  rapid  climbers.  Before  tTie  trees  are  large  enough  to  aft'ord  either  shelter  or  coolness, 
vines  will  hide  ugly  walls  or  fences  and  screen  sunny  porches.  We  oft'er  the  most  desirable  hardy 
sorts,  and  reconmiend  a  free  use  of  them.  Vines  to  produce  immediate  effect  should  be  planted 
2  to  3  feet  apart. 
ACTINIDIA  arguta.  This  Japanese  vine  has

fruits  which  follow  are  large  and  plum-shaped, 
edible ;  with  a  fig-like  flavor.  One  of  the 
most  beautiful  vines  for  northern  climates.
