San Andreas independent., 1856-11-22
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER %. 1856.

To those who prefer uniting the useful
with the beautiful, the grape and the hop
are recommended = of the former, the
Catawba and Isabella are named as thriving
best, and to which we would add the Clinton,
as being remarkable for its hardness, free
growth, and dense masses of light colored
foliage. The hop is justly pronounced the
most rustic of all climbing beauties, and
ornamental in the highest degree, although
usually condemned to pole in the kitchen
garden or hop field. For houses that need
occasional painting, it is proposed to place
the trellis for the support of climbers, at
least foot from the exterior walls.
