For beautifying vases, decorating verandahs, or transforming unsightly places into objects of beauty, re¬ 
course must be had to climbing plants. Select for vases or baskets some of the finer varieties, like the Mau- 
randya; lor arbors, fences, etc., choose the vigorous growing sorts, that will make rapid growth. As a rule the 
climbers are easily grown and require little care, except to support them as they climb.
