Beautiful Retreat

Every possessor of a house with a
porch, whether in city, suburb or coun-
try, should realize the opportunity he
has, with the help of nature, to make
1t delicious and beautiful, cool,
green, shady retreat in summer. In
winter 1t matters little what it is.
vines will transform any porch into
bower. To have vigorous vines
plenty Of rich soil is needed, and it
is best to insure this by adding plenty
OF COW manure or bone meal to make
1t rich. Good drainage, as in any
flower garden, is also essential
In the woods many wild vines may
be found. There are the Dutchman's
pipe, the wild grape, the moon seed
vine, the trumpet vine and others.
The wild grape vine is especially use
full and easily obtained. Its luxuriant
foliage, rapid growth and delightful
fragrance make it useful for summer
houses and similar structures. The
trumpet vine with its scarlet orange
lowers is very easily grown, not at
all sensitive to rough treatment. It is
found In many parts of the country
wild. These vines may all be OBJ
tanned also from dealers.
The silk vine is very fine, with
dark green, luxuriant foliage of neat
habit 1t belongs to the milk weed
family OF plants and derives its name
from the silky contents of its seed
pods. 1t is excellent for the veranda
and is used to cover many famous old
ruins.
A number of the clematises are well
worthy of place on the most beauti.

varieties such as Clematis Jackmanni,
which has purple flowers, and Gle.
mats Henryi, which has neat white

rich color when in bloom.
