"Beautiful, Graceful, Permanent. ALMOST everyone appreciates the value and beauty of vines about a home to supply the finishing touches of natural grace and beauty such as cannot be produced by any °ther means. It is, however, often dif- ficult to get them started to growing vigorously in the desired positions for several reasons. The ground is frequently too dry near the house, being sheltered from storms and dews by the building, and is drained by the foundation walls. Frequently the surface soil is poor, the result of grading with gravel or subsoil taken from the cellar; or the roots of large trees nearby may absorb the moisture and fertility of the land, so that there is but little if any nourishment left within reach of the new plant, and it necessarily dies of starvation. It is, therefore, particularly necessary for the first few years to manure and water liberally the vines planted near the house and piazzas. Many a plain blank wall is rendered artistic by the graceful tracings of the slender vines of Ampelopsis Veitchii (or tricuspidata). The imperfections of dilapidated buildings or declining tree trunks can be con- cealed or made attractive by shrouding them with a drapery of climbers. A barren knoll, or rocky cliff, or roadway embankment, or hill side washout can often be changed into attractive landscape features by supply- ing material for nature to clothe them with some of the many charms which she alone can weave. ACTINIDIA polygama. A rare but elegant Japan- ese climber, with light brown bark and clean foli- age. In rich soil it grows very rapidly, and is an excellent vine for trellis or arbor ; flowers small, white, fragrant. 50 cts. AKEB
