With a lavish hand nature throws a drapery of vines over the 
unsightly. An old tree, which cannot be removed, becomes a 
thing of beauty. Fences are lovely screens. The bare arch, per¬ 
gola or summer house is neither useful nor attractive, but vine- 
clad it brings a tone of dignity to the garden. It need not be 
elaborate. Often simple or rustic effects are best . 
When planting cut the tops back severely, particularly cling¬ 
ing vines such as English, Engleman’s and Boston Ivy, and 
Euonymus, as it is the new growth which clings. Twining 
vines, such as Bittersweet, Clematis, Honeysuckle and Wisteria, 
must have a support around which to twine. Wisteria becomes 
heavy and should have a strong support. Soil near a foundation 
is often poor. Replace it with good soil, and see that they do 
not suffer for lack of water, especially the first season. 
Five or more of a kind at the 10 rate. 
If by parcel post add 5c each, not less than 10c per package, 
for Missouri and adjoining states, except mail sizes.
