VINES 
Nothing will add more quickly to the beauty and comfort of the home than vines well chosen 
and planted in proper locations. 
They hide many faults and soften and brighten rough places as 
well as bring comfort of shade during the hot summer months. 
BITTERSWEET, AMERICAN (Celastrus scar- 
dens)—A vigorous trailing vine with glossy 
foliage. Flowers are small and yellow, fol- 
lowed by graceful sprays of orange-red berries 
which are retained into the winter. Particular- 
ly good for pillars or low fences and walls. 
CLEMATIS (Clematis)—Vines with attractive 
foliage which are especially suited to pillars, 
trellises, and for covering old stumps or un- 
sightly posts. They thrive best in rich, moist, 
well-drained soils and in partially protected 
places. 
—Clematis, Henry (Clematis lawsoniana hen- 
ry1)—A hybrid variety with large, flat creamy 
white flowers. Needs partial shade.

purple flowers two or three inches across 
almost completely cover the vine in early 
summer. 
—Clematis, Mme. Edouard Andre (Clematis,

which is rather hard to cultivate but will re- 
pay the effort. A Chinese variety bearing 
large red flowers. Needs partial shade. 
—Clematis, Sweet Autumn (Clematis paniculata) 
—Does not make so dense a vine but is partic- 
ularly attractive because of its creamy-white, 
star-shaped flowers which are borne in pro- 
fusion in late summer and fall. Flowers exceed- 
ingly fragrant. The hardiest of all the Clema- 
tis and will thrive in many sections.

growing vine with evergreen foliage; flowers 
trumpet-shaped, orange-red. Not so hardy as 
Bignonia radicans.

training over unsightly walls and fences.

ca halliana) -— Foliage evergreen; flowers
