Cyclopedia of American horticulture : comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches. Gardening; Horticulture; Horticulture; Horticulture. 1936 VINES of the grape, are modified branches or stems; others, as those of the pea and eobsea, are modified leaflets; still others, as in some species of lathyrus, are modified stip- ules. True tendrils are always definitely arranged with reference to the position of the leaves. The young ex- tended tendril usually swings about in a circle or ellipse, its end being somewhat bent or coiled. When this end. b, shows the coiline of the straight or not-coiled spaces direction of the coil is reversed. Cassa- strikes a support it fastens itself securely, and then the plant is drawn to the support or held to it by the coiling of the tendril. This coil also serves as a spring whereby the plant is held to its support during winds. The con- tinuous coiling of the tendril in one direction would twist the tendril in two; therefore, tendrils usually coil in more than one direction, one part of the length being coiled from right to left and another part from left to right. Some of these phenomena may be seen in Fig. 2675, which represents the tendrils of one of the Oucur- bitaceae. All members of this family, as cucumbers, melons, pumpkins and wild balsam apple, are excellent subjects on which to observe these phenomena. Of the very many vines that may be used with good results in the open air in the North the following are common and therefore to be commended. Many green- house vines can also be used in the open during the summer, but these are not included in the present list. AA. Top shrubby. Ampelopsis quinquefolia, Virginia creeper. Figs. 80, 1866. The best single vine for covering buildings and arbors, since it is perfectly hardy and thrives under
