all purposes 
There is not a lovelier vine in the world than 
the Wistaria with its wealth of perfect 
blossoms which reward one for its slow 
growth 
Large-flowered varieties of the Clematis give 
notes of color to the sides of house and 
porch, and produce attractive foliage as well 
as blossoms

planting-time is well worth while. 
There are, generally speaking, two sorts of vines; those which 
are hardy and shrub-topped, and those which die down in winter 
to spring up again the next season, or which are annuals that have 
The careful planting of vines adds greatly to the beauty of any place 
to be started from seed each year, though some of these may be 
self-sowing.

sary nor where they will not add beauty to the premises, nor yet 
again without due regard to the grouping of varieties. One does-
