VINES 
Nothing adds more to the grace and charm of a planting around 
a porch than a few well-chosen vines. Most home-gardens have 
some unattractive corners that can be greatly improved by vines, 
for they have a softening effect not easily obtainable otherwise. 
Vine-draped trees and pergolas have a peculiar beauty, and some 
vines like Honeysuckle are especially valuable as ground and 
bank-covers. The following are highly desirable vines. They are 
all strong, 2-year-old No. 1, field-grown plants, with good root- 
systems, except Cinnamon Vine and Madeira Vine, which are 
roots.

with clusters of orange and yellow berries which are very decora- 
tive all winter. 60 cts. each, $1.65 for 3.
