it constantly pours forth from an elevated 
position, too, makes this my favorite way of 
using it — for it fills upstairs as well as down, 
indoors as well as out, with its sweetness.

plant a clematis or two — not so near it that 
they intermingle, but near enough that there 
may be bloom and sweetness over a longer 
period. The Japanese variety that is so uni- 
versally grown — Clematis paniculata — flings
