18 HARDY CLIMBING VINES 
ORNAMENTAL VINES 
For Shade and Beauty 
A home planting is seldom complete without a few vines to lend added 
charm and grace not to be obtained from other sources. Vines furnish 
shade to the porch, the pergola, garden arbor, children’s playhouse, and 
are often employed for temporary shade over windows. When vines are 
planted near foundations the soil should be replaced with rich garden soil 
to obtain best results. : 
BITTERSWEET (Celastrus) — A 
popular vine for covering walls 
and trellises. Handsome glossy 
foliage and large clusters of or- 
ange crimson fruits. Its graceful 
sprays of berries make charming 
winter decorations for the house. 
BOSTON IVY (Ampelopsis 
veitchi1)—Clings to brick 
or stone without artificial 
fastening. The foliage is 
handsome dark green in 
summer, changing to crim- 
son and yellow in autumn. 
It is a little tender to es- 
tablish and requires pro- 
tection the first winter, but 
once established there is no 
further attention needed.

(Jackmani)—A large flow- 
ered variety, the flowers 
often 4 to 6 inches in dia- 
meter. Intense violet pur- 
ple. Like the above it re- 
quires some help the first

trying conditions; very rapid 
in growth. Used for general 
planting about play-houses, 
porches, arbors, and fences.

grand old favorite. Showy, or- 
ange-scarlet trumpet like flow-

ous growth for general planting.
