VINES, PERGOLAS AND SUMMER-HOUSES 
A Vine - Embowered House 
One rarely sees a home so luxuriantly covered with vines as the house 
we here illustrate. It is the result of well- enriched and deeply prepared 
soil and an abundance of moisture supplied at needed intervals. A variety 
of vines is necessary to produce similar results. Among the hardy kinds 
for permanent results we would mention Ampelopsis, Clematis, Honey- 
suckle, Bignonia, Wistaria, Climbing Roses, etc. For one -season effects 
large - growing annual climbers may be utilized. 
A Trumpet Creeper Ornament 
The above engraving shows how unsightly posts, 
dead -tree stumps and similar subjects may be changed 
to objects of beauty with suitable climbers. The vine 
here shown is the Bignonia or Trumpet Creeper, one 
of our showiest hardy climbers, with brilliant orange - 
scarlet flowers.
