For a porch climber which will produce a deep shade, the Dutchman's pipe is the most satisfactory. Its huge leaves, as big as dinner plates, its hardiness and rapid growth, com- mend it to every one. In localities not too cold and on the north sides of buildings English ivy is an excellent climber upon brick and stone work, but where exposed to the sun during winter it is apt to be injured. An excellent porch climber, also useful for training on tree stumps and posts, is the trumpet creeper, which has large orange-red blossoms. Wistaria is another porch climber of much the same class, but with clusters of lavender colored blossoms. There are many honeysuckles useful not only for their pretty flowers, but for their perfumes. Perennial pea is excellent for training over rocks and on trellises. The moonflower is an interesting climber for a porch pillar. The variegated variety of Japanese hop is particularly attractive when trained against a dark background. Besides all these, there are numerous less well- known climbers, such as actinidia, various species of clematis, akebia, silk vine, scarlet running bean,. CELLARWAY GREENHOUSE.
