VINES FROM SEED 
Vines, used with discretion, will transform the ugliest 
box of a house into a lovely cottage, blending with the 
landscape. They will drape a pillar, screen a view, or give 
grateful arbor or summer-house shade. With them a wire 
fence becomes a colour-splashed hedge; a dingy wall, the 
gorgeous back-drop of the garden scene. Plant them prodi¬ 
gally. Actinidia, Akebia, Ampelopsis, Apios, Bradburyana, 
Celastrus, Clematis, Dolichos, Hedera, Hydrangea, Ipomea,
