BEAUTIFUL ORNAMENTAL VINES 
Beds of flowers tastefully disposed give brightness and beauty to a place, but it is the climbers 
that afford coziness and special charm to a home. They beautify unsightly spots; they break up the 
monotony of the grounds; they supply, like Jonah's gourd, quick shade from burning sun. A good 
variety of these plants should be found at every home. They are indispensable in giving a homey 
appearance, and imparting cheer and comfort and contentment to the inmates. The plants are readily 
started from seeds, and easily transplanted to where you wish them to grow".
