All Vines at Each Price.

more densely set.

er, etc.). Deeply cut leaves turn to crimson in

The hardy vines are a great boon to home-makers because the rapidity 
of their growth will in one season do much to overcome that appearance 
of “newness” so painfully evident in a newly built settlement ; and 
long before trees and shrubs have become well established, will 
transform the general effect into one of homely comfort and 
affectionate care. They have done more to cover and conceal the 
unsightly evidences of man’s stupidity, coarseness or neglect, 
and to beautify inharmonious natural environments, than 
any other class of things that grow.
