Climbing and Trailing Varieties 
Clematis paniculata (Sweet Autumn Clematis) 
N O GROUP of plants is quite so adaptable and capa¬ 
ble of a wide range of use as the vines and creepers, 
because.of their permanence, ease of culture, and 
freedom from insects and diseases. Vines are grown on 
masonry walls for the beauty of their foliage, and also to 
soften and add color and shadows to an otherwise blank 
expanse. .They are grown on garden walks as a background 
for flowering plants, where the delicate tracery of the leaves 
against, the wall, together with interesting flowers on some 
and fruit on others, contributes a gardenesque quality which 
is delightful. One of the foremost uses of vines is to pro¬

In placing a trellis or other support against wooden struc¬ 
tures it is usually better to secure them with a hinge at the bottom to 4x4 inch posts set firmly in the ground 
and fasten at their tops with hooks. Then the whole mass of trellis and vine can be unhooked and folded outward 
onto the ground when it is necessary to paint or remove the vine for any purpose. In planting vines see 
that they receive sufficient moisture until they become well established. Most vines thrive in places that would 
be too damp and shady for shrubs and they also make excellent ground covers to hide barren spots and washouts.
