This is the fastest 
growing climber on our 
list. If you have any un¬ 
sightly spots around your 
garden you wish to hide, 
Wild Cucumber will hide 
them for you and will do 
it quick. It is a remarkably pretty 
vine with clean bright green foliage, 
thickly dotted over with pretty, 
white, fragrant flowers, followed by 
an abundance of ornamental and 
prickly seed pods. It is splendid for 
covering trellises, old trees that have 
died, or stumps, fences, etc., also 
very useful to sow on banks as it not 
only covers the banks but acts as a 
soil binder.
