HARDY VINES 
AMONG these climbers and trailers are plants to cover bare walls, un- 
SI § htI y buildings and stumps, or provide the finest of ground-cover for 
sunny or shady places. Clematis and Wisterias furnish glorious bloom 
while the Bittersweets bear the lovely berries so popular for winter decorative 
arrangements. 
Clematis, Pot-Grown 
The Most Decorative of All 
Climbing Flowering Plants 
Their cultural requirements are simple. 
They thrive in a sunny place in any 
ordinarily good garden soil if not too acid. 
An acid soil condition can be overcome by 
thoroughly mixing a tablespoonful of 
ground limestone with the soil that is to 
be filled in around the roots of each plant. 
To prevent cracking the brittle bark, as 
soon as the plants are set they should be 
tied promptly to their supporting trellis, 
after which the growth will twine itself. 
When the plants are established they can 
be well fertilized and mulched with manure 
annually with excellent results.
