CLIMBING VINES 
/c*""r *INES provide a home-like and restful appearance and 
L / I should be included in every landscape planting. Let us 
I J help you in choosing the vines most suitable for your 
V—^ requirements. We have an assortment of the hardy varie¬ 
ties for walls, fences, and arbors. 
These notes about vines may help you in making your selections: 
The vines which cling to brick 
and masonry have little growths 
along their stems which become 
fastened to the wall. Such vines 
as Boston Ivy and Engelmann 
Ivy belong to this group. Other 
types of vines grown against walls 
must have artificial support. 
Many vines have a particular 
value in their flowers, such as 
climbing roses (see page 15). 
Bignonia Radicans and purple or 
white clematis. These are adapt¬ 
able to lattice and trellis. 
Vines with a climbing habit and 
heavy foliage have their place in 
screening and completely covering 
large spaces. The Polygonum 
auberti, Bittersweet and Honey¬ 
suckles are examples. They make 
excellent coverings for pergolas. 
Grape vines are suitable for ar¬ 
bors and fences. You will find 
Ampelopsis Veitchi them listed on page 31.

tainers. Those grown in 
large containers are su¬ 
perior to the Greenhouse 
grown potted plants be¬ 
cause they are acclimated 
to outdoor conditions. 
They are more safely 
transplanted than the dor¬ 
mant roots because they 
are moved soil and all so 
that the fibrous root sys¬ 
tem is not disturbed in 
transplanting.
