HOUSE AND GARDEN 
April, 1911 
You can grow ivy in boxes out in the garden, bringing them up on 
the porch when the vines have made sufficient growth 
Boxes of ivy have been placed on the stone wall of porch, from 
which the vines hang down to drape the wall inside and out 
The morning-glory is 
not exacting as re¬ 
gards soil or site 
English ivy has been trained upon the 
trellis of this loggia from boxes of rich 
moist soil 
The only trouble with clematis is the 
bareness of its lower branches, which 
should be screened

SUGGESTIONS 
Clematis Jackmani 
comes in purple, 
red, blue and white 
An interesting treatment of the wall at the back of a porch—a sur¬ 
face that is too frequently neglected 
A variety of trellis treatments may be worked out with lath, painted 
white or stained green
