 fastened to a tence, attached to a tree, to, 

 the side of a house, the pillars of a piazza, 

 or in any location where a quick grow- 

 ing hardy climber is desired. It sends 

 out numerous branches so that it covers 

 a great amount of space in a short time, 

 and every new growth is at once covered 

 witli flowers, which are succeeded by /i 

 beautiful berries neai'ly an inch long, 

 every branch being loaded down with, 

 thera. It continues flowering and new 

 berries are forming from late spring until 

 frost. The berries ripen in early autumn 

 and remain on the vine until the early 

 winter. It will grow and thrive in any 

 situation, either shade or bright sunlight 

 and will take root in any soil. Vahiable 

 as it is for covering fences, etc., it is even 

 more desirable for clambering over stone 

 ; walls, bare rocks or unsightly banks,
