SUCCESS WITH FLOWERS 
CLIMBING VINES 
Nothing in flowers and decorative plants is so greatly 
needed as a rapid growing vine to cover fences, arbors, 
trellises and similar places. The seed of most climbers 
should be planted % of an inch deep or about twice 
the diameter of the seed. Cover carefully with finely 
sifted soil, firming same around the seed. Although 
easily grown in almost any ordinary soil, you will 
obtain much better results by having the soil very rich 
and finely; sifted. Whenever possible start the seed in 
the house, transplanting to the open ground when 
danger of frost is over. If for any reason this is not 
convenient, however, excellent results can be obtained 
by planting direct to the open ground about corn 
planting time. A warm sunny situation is best, and 
plants should be watered every evening and the soil 
kept moist at all times. 
You will find the following annual vines listed in 
my catalogue which will give you good results the 
same year as planted. All of them bloom readily, and 
many stay in flower the entire season.
