Vines 
Vines should have deep, rich soil, and without 
which these charming shrubs will be both disap- 
pointing and commonplace. Generally vines 
about the house get set in a mixture of clay, 
brickbats, cinders and building refuse, and the 
owner finally decides that vines are not much 
good; while if the ground had been prepared by 
filling in with good, rich soil before planting, 
and mulched heavily with well rotted manure in 
the fall, the results would be most satisfactory. 
BOSTON IVY—The most popular climbing plant 
for covering brick, stone, or wooden walls. 
The color is a fresh, deep green in the sum- 
mer, changing to autumn tints in the fall.
