Vines, which are growing in our own grounds, and every

t :c view of propagating it extensively, and making the

brou"! it to their notice, ami worthv of trial by those who desire a durable, easily applied, and comparatively Inex- 
pensive and safe roolin', the material having, in addition to the other merits claimed for it, that of being practically
