Glory) and Phaseolus multiflorus (Scarlet runner bean). The 
Oriental Gourds are amusing and have their place in some sorts 
of summer planting — a rough pergola or fence. Tropaeolum 
Canariense (Canary bird vine); Cardiospermum Salicacabum 
(Balloon Vine) and Cobaea scandens (Cup and Saucer) make 
a quick growth and have good blossoms. Adlumia cirrhosa 
(Allegheny Vine), a slender growing fumitory, is a biennial, and 
Eccremocarpus or Galempelis scaber has orange flowers and 
fruits at the same time, for a sunny trellis there is nothing to 
surpass it. Passifloras gracilis (Passion flower), likes a sunny 
wall and is very tender; there are hardy varieties of this vine. 
Hardy First among the vigorous flowering hardy vines we put the 
Climbers Wistarias — W. sinensis Chinensis, and W. Chinensis alba are the 
two Chinese varieties, a pale blue-lavender and a white with 
light green foliage and closely twining stems. These two can be 
grown as bushes or standards, and the latter stand a remark- 
able amount of moving about. Of the Japanese varieties, W. 
purpurea plena has long racemes of double purple blossoms; W. 
floribunda alba has short white clusters, and W. roseo has pale 
pink. TF. macrobotrys multijuga is the rarer species with long 
clusters of purple flowers. For rampant growth and dense shade 
nothing exceeds Pueraria TJiunbergiana (Kuclzu vine), with its 
dark green woolly leaves and purple racemes, but Aristolockia 
Sipho (Dutchman's Pipe) is a close second, and like Akebia 
quinata, whose violet-brown flowers give out a cinnamon odor, 
does best in full sun. The three Actinidias, arguta, Kolomikta, 
and polygama (Silver sweet vine) , grow rapidly, have good bloom 
and decorative fruits. The two Bignonias, grandiflora and 
radicans (Chinese and common Trumpet Creeper) with their 
loose trailers of green foliage that persist into the fall and their 
wealth of orange-red flowers in summer, are great space covers, 
and can be used on rough walls to good advantage. Of the same 
type are the two Calastrus — orbiculatus and scandens (Oriental 
and False Bittersweet), vigorous free twiners, covering many 
feet each season. Their orange-yellow flowers are surpassed in 
decorative quality by orange-reel fruits that persist all winter. 
The Clematis are many — of two types, the Hybrids with their 
large velvety blooms of varied coloring, and C. panic ulata and 
C. Yirginiana (the Japanese and common Virgin's Bower), 
whose fine white bloom makes a showy mass in August to be 
followed by the charming grey of the seed vessels. Another 
variety is C. Montana perfecia, with a white Anemone-like flower 
which opens as early as the end of April. 
Jasmines appreciate a sheltered position, a corner near a 
chimney breast is ideal for J. nudifloriurn, whose yellow blos- 
soms appear in March before its leaves. J. Floridurn and J. Car- 
roldii are good later varieties. For places where a rather rough
