Morrisville,  Pennsylvania

effectively  creeps  over  these  boulders. 
ORNAMENTAL  VINES 
CLIMBING  \'ines  are  as  necessary  to  the  comfort  and  beauty  of  a  home  as  the  trees  and  shrubs 
we  plant  about  it.    They  mature  quickly  and  tone  down  the  stiff,  bold  angles  of  new  buildings  and 
give  shade  and  flowers  over  verandas  and  trellises.    They  are  cheerful  and  cooling  in  climbing 
!  over  bowers  and  Summer-houses,  and  wild  and  natural  in  running  over  trees  and  stumps.    In  shaded 
I  places  and  beneath  old  trees,  where  grass  will  not  grow,  they  are  often  used  as  a  ground  cover.    On  steep 
slopes  and  banks  they  prevent  erosion.    They  ramble  over  unsightly,  neglected  places,  and  make  them 
beautiful  with  fragrant  and  brilliant  flowers.    Vines  are  strong,  robust  growers,  that  require  little  attention 
other  than  to  occasionally  train  them.
