Th? fragrance of Clematis paniculata resembles 
English Hawthorn 
With a lavish hand nature throws a drapery of vines over the 
unsightly. An old tree, which cannot be removed, may be 
made a thing of beauty. Fences become beautiful screens. The 
bare arch, pergola or summer house is neither useful nor attrac¬ 
tive, but vine-clad it bring a tone of dignity to the garden. It 
is then unnecessary to have it elaborate, often simple or rustic 
effects are best. 
When planting cut the tops back severely, particularly cling¬ 
ing vines such as Euonymus and Ivy, as it is the new growth 
which clings. Twining vines must have a support around which 
to twine. Soil near a foundation is often poor; replace it with 
good soil. Plant firmly and water well, especially the first sea¬ 
son.
