little pruning- is needed in the case of these last mentioned 
varieties; all that is necessary is to cut out the weak and strag- 
gling wood. 
The large flowered varieties of Clematis are admirably suited 
for the embellishment of porch pillars, while the other varieties 
mentioned, being of stronger growth, are better suited for cover- 
ing arbors, etc., or for screening unsightly objects. 
Euonymus radicans is an evergreen plant well adapted for 
covering low walls, to which it clings by means of adventitious 
roots. It has beautiful, dark green leaves and is a desirable plant, 
especially for shady situations. There are varieties having 
variegated foliage which are preferred by some people. 
Lathyrus latifolius is the Everlasting Pea. It is herbaceous 
in character and grows from six to eight feet in height. It pro- 
duces an abundance of blossoms in August. In the type plant the 
flowers are rosy red in color, but there is also a white variety. 
These plants prefer a sunny position. 
Lonicera. The Honeysuckles are especially desired when a 
porch screen is desired, on account of the delicious fragrance 
emitted by them. Lonicera Halleana is perhaps the best for this 
purpose. It is of strong growth, almost evergreen, and produces 
an abundance of white flowers, changing to yellow, all through 
the summer. L. sempervirens, the Coral Trumpet, is not fragrant, 
but the scarlet flowers produced in spring and summer are very 
pleasing. The Honeysuckles grow well in sun or partial shade. 
The Kudzu Vine, ( Pueraria Thmibergiana) . When a partic- 
ularly rampant gropth is required this is the vine to plant. It is 
a remarkably rapid and vigorous grower and is not particular as 
to soil or location. It bears purple pea shaped blossoms in late 
summer. 
“Crimson Glory Vine”, ( Vitis Coignettiae) . This vine pro- 
duces wonderful effects in the fall by reason of the brilliant color- 
ing taken on by its foliage. Perhaps it appears to best effect 
when allowed to ramble at will amongst the branches of an old 
tree. Its coloring is indescribably gorgeous, and it should be 
planted by those who have a partiality for “Fall tints.” 
The Chinese Wisteria, ( Wisteria sinensis), is a plant well 
adapted for sunny situations, and produces its panicles of blue 
flowers in May or June. Sometimes a second crop is obtained 
in August. The Wisterias live to a great age and well repay lib- 
eral treatment in the matter of manure. They should be pruned 
in summer by cutting back the long, straggling shoots, unless it 
is desired to extend the plant; in this case, a few of the strongest 
shoots should be left for'the purpose. Wisteria multijuga is the 
Japanese Wisteria, and is reputed to produce panicles of bloom 
three feet in length. 
Annual* 
In growing the annual vines, the seeds may either be planted 
indoors in March or April, or planted directly where the plants
