Climbing Vines 
Climbing vines play a@ very important part in all 
landscape planting. With them many a stone wall or 
unsightly back yard fence can be transformed into a 
pleasing background for inside planting. Brick, stone 

CLEMATIS PANICULATA 
or stuceo walls of the home which hook bare and 
brazen may be softened and beautified with climbers. 
The flowering sorts should be well cared for the first 
year and the earth thrown up in a mound at the trunk 
to prevent water standing around them. Cut worms 
sometimes work havoc with the young tender sorts but 
this can easily be prevented by removing both ends of 
a good sized tin can and pressing it down over the 
plant ; wood ashes are also very effective.

Flowering Shrubs 
There is nothing that cam add more to the beauty of 
the home than to have the sides and background well 
filled with nicely arranged groups of shrubbery. By a 
judicious selection of varieties a succession of bloom 
may be had from early spring until bate fall. The 
flowers may be had in many forms and in going over 
the following list it will pay to make some attempt at 
following out a blooming scheme. Shruhs, fer hest 
Fesults, should not be scattered about the Iawn, but 
massed in irregular groups against the buildings, in 
the corners and at the back and sides of the lIawn. 
This is done to leave broad areas of light and shade 
which is essential. ATI] following shrubs with the ex- 
ception of a few in this list marked (*) should be cut 
back severely at planting time Ieaving not more than 
six to ten inches above the ground. ‘This will not only 
aid the roots in establishing themselves, but will cause 
the plant to form a more compact and shapely head. 
Those marked (*) should be trimmed very sparinelv 
if at all. Shrubs should be trimmed each year after 
established and it is better to cut out the older canes 
than to make a general top trimming unless a heavier 
growth at the bottom is desired. Flowering shruhs 
should not be trimmed until after they are through

blooming as they will not bloom if trimmed in the 
early spring. Mulching and spraying always pays.

comes more brilliant and gorgeous throughout the

eolor'ngs, at all seasons, is that it be planted in full 
exposure to the sun.
