WINTER PROTECTION FOR VINES
Many who have climbing vines arcuno
the house nave set varieties ina ousht
not 90 have been planted the cliuiase
may be TOO cold for certain tender vines
and AZ will be impossible TO winter them
| with success. The best plan IL TO have
vines tina are entirely hardy In your ch-
mntc. The h~oncysuckies. the American
Ivy and most Of the heavily wooded sorts
are hardy or SO nearly 80 that they need
only a mound OF earth around the base 10
carry them through severe winters. The
Ciematis family arc readily protected az
tho tops usually die back SO that only care
In needed OF tho roots which ~ readily
given by tho mound OF earth and over
this some coarse half-rotted manure free
from straw. In some sections IL IL the
custom to wrap tender vines and shrubs
In straw. There In no decided objection
TO this N tho top In left open so hat a cir
cuiation OF air Will pass over the shrub
and n one ls sure no mice will get In near
:he bottom TO gnaw the tender shoots. The
plan OF laying over the partially tender
vine and covering Il with soil II also
adopted In some sections, but a vine 80
tender as to require this ought
not 10 be planted.
