VINES 
To add to the beauty of the home and its surroundings, vines of different kinds are unsur¬ 
passed. If many bare, unsightly walls were covered by them, they would become things of beauty, 
for vines have the power to soften lines and cover up imperfections. Where it is desired to give 
an appearance of age to a building they are unequaled. 
Nothing can surpass the glory of the Wistaria and the Yellow Jessamine when in full bloom. 
The Japan Ivy and Virginia Creeper are well adapted for brick walls, or surfaces where a vine is 
required to climb by fastening itself. The Honeysuckles and Trumpet Vine are splendid for covering 
mounds, dead trees and fences. The Yellow Jessamine and the two Honeysuckles are evergreen, and 
where an evergreen covering is desired they should be given preference. It should be borne in mind 
that the Climbing Roses are useful for these same purposes, and they are always desirable for loca¬ 
tions having good sunlight. 
For best results the land should be well prepared, and if planted near brick walls the mortar 
and brick-bats should be removed. Dig deeply and mix a fair amount of commercial fertilizer with 
the soil about two weeks before planting. After they are established, commercial fertilizer or stable 
manure may be used as a surface dressing. With good drainage, vines should be given plenty of water 
for best results.
