Vines that Bear Transplanting When Full-grown and Give Quick Results— 
Intensive Planting and Subsequent Pruning to Preserve the Garden Picture 
|j{r*»0>OME ninety days prior to the taking of the accompany- 
ing pictures, or, to be explicit, May 10th, 1922, a 
number of changes calling for a new doorway leading 
from the studio "to the garage and gardens was near 
enough to completion so that plantings were in order. The 
pleasing results obtained were so immediate that some de¬ 
scription of the materials and how they were used may be in¬ 
structive to others who are seeking quick effects. 
First of all, it is necessary to select sufficiently large vines at 
the start to reach to the top of the overhead framework rather 
than wait for smaller plants to grow. Fortunately, a number 
of the hardy woody vines do not object to being transplanted 
in these large sizes. It is* better, however, to take a little 
extra care in their digging so as to get as much root as possible; 
also the transplanted vine must be somewhat trimmed down 
and the branches thinned out enough at the time of transplant¬ 
ing to reduce the strain when the new growth starts. 
Among the desirable vines available for transplanting in 
large sizes are: Actinidia, Akebia, Ampelopsis, Dutchmans- 
pipe (Aristolochia), Trumpet-creeper (Bignonia), Bitter-sweet 
(Cledastris), Euonymous radicans, Grape, Honeysuckle, Climb¬ 
ing Hydrangea, English Ivy, and Wisteria. 
In this instance we had available several large, fine Grape 
vines with expressive old trunks of the Concord variety, which
