Boston Ivy 
Neat foliage, clings well to brick or stucco 
mbing Vines 
Vines create a graceful, softening effect. Use them for shade, for covering bare areas or 
for screening out unpleasant views. A flowering vine on a trellis is most attractive. 
BITTERSWEET. (Celastrus Scandens.) A hardy, strong- 
growing vine with glossy leaves. The yellow flowers are 
followed by reddish-orange berries in autumn, which are 
attractive on the vine or when used as a winter bouquet. 
CLEMATIS HENRYI. White. Large white flowers, some 
measure seven inches across. Very good against a dark 
background. 
CLEMATIS JACKMANI. Purple. This is the most popular 
blooming vine. The striking large purple flowers, four to 
six inches across, completely cover the vine. The refined 
habit of growth makes it ideal for planting on a trellis.

growing of the Clematis. The dainty white, star-like, 
fragrant flowers bloom abundantly, nearly hiding the 
foliage. The only vine blooming profusely in August 
and September. 
GRAPE, Beta. This grape makes one of the best vines for 
covering porches and arbors. It is perfectly hardy without 
winter protection and produces an abundance of fruit.

closely to such material without support. The foliage col- 
ors to a beautiful red and gold in autumn.

CLEMATIS CULTURE 
Plant in well drained soil. The hole should be a foot wide and eighteen 
inches deep, filled with at least a foot of rich soil below the roots and also 
rich soil surrounding the roots. When planting bare root plants that are 
wrapped in moss, cut back all roots, as necessary, to 6 or 8 inches before 
planting and thin out the small twisted roots in the center. When plant- 
ing, the roots should point in a downward slanting position like an in- 
verted letter “V’’ rather than spread out flat, and they should also be 
separated to keep them from being pressed against each other when the 
soil is firmed. When planting potted plants, remove carefully from the 
pot and plant about an inch deeper than the top of original pot. 
Do not over-water. A thorough watering once a week js all that is 
necessary. A mulch of peat over the top of the soil is helpful to keep the 
roots cool. A wood trellis is the best support for climbing.
