F i -1W APRIL 15TH isif " ' Remember TUESDAY NIGHT Uses of Climbers, Vines Described by Gardener By EDNA KING MANDEVILLE There are a number of rea sons for planting climbers or vines, as they may also be called. Today I'd like to point out some of them, and show how a climber may be used to advantage in almost any garden. Of course, the climber is particularly useful when wind or dust are to be excluded or an unsightly view concealed. A flowering climber may be used to cover an unattractive tree stump or bare slope, and may actually create a spot of beauty where once there ex isted only an eyesore. Climbers, however, should not be considered mereiy for use as a "cover-up," for their beauty and growth habits can add a great deal to the charm of the garden, even though there is no need to cover any thing. Their foliage often makes climbers especially adaptable for use as back ground, and garden flowers are more effective when seen against this type of setting. Views out of a garden may distract ' from the beauty of the flowers themselves, and such screening tends to con centrate attention on the real charm of your garden. Focal Point If the garden lacks a focal point, here again the climber may be your answer. One in teresting arrangement for this purpose is to place a climber covered trellis behind a gar den seat. Such an addition is not only attractive but actual ly invites use by its impres sion of restfulness. Where there is a path leading. to a garage or tool house, there may be an excellent reason for using a vine-covered per gola to soften the effects of the building. The pergola, however, should be used as a passageway from one place to another, thereby lending meaning to its existence. At a summer-home, the climber may be used as an attractive and practical means of pro viding shade for porch or patio. 'While I've given a few of the best reasons for consider ing climbers in your garden, there are , many more, of course. Perhaps the following list of climbing varieties, to gether with their suggested uses, will give you further ideas for improving your gar den. Kudzu Vina Of the perennials, the Kudzu vine is an excellent choice where shade, screen ine. or a windbreak is need ed. This vine, belonging to the pea family, grows qune nnifklv to a height of some 30 feet. It has large three-part leaves, somewhat lobed in shape, which are perfect for producing a dense foliage. This characteristic, plus its rapid growth habit, makes it perfect for most shade and screening uses. The Kudzu rino is hardv. too. except in a few northernmost parts of the. Tinited States. Another good climber is the-j perennial sweet pea U-.a-thyrus), which reaches a height of about six feet and is adaptable in some instances for screening or dust elimina tion. The flowers are showy and quite often are grown for beauty alone. They are red, int and white, similar to the annual sweet pea, though they are not fragrant. Hyacinth Bean One of the most rapidly growing of all annual climb ers is the annual hyacinth bean, which climbs to about 15 feet. Its bright green foli ! i most attractive, and the HanHsnmP nurnle and white flowers appear in large clus ters from midseason until iaie in the year. Another gooa climber in the annual group is the scarlet runner bean, ornujinir tn about 10 feet and producing a dense green foli age, which is especially u ifni as a backdroo for clus ters of red flowers. The pods from this vine are edible when very young, as are the shell beans which the pods produce. Both of these annual vines are useful for screening and windbreak purposes. For adding beauty to the garden, there are the; annual cypress vine and the cardinal climber. Both are particularly suited for use on trellis, fence or wall. The cypress vine climbs to about eight feet, with a foliage that gives the impression of fine moss cov ered with tiny red and white stars. The cardinal climber reaches 20 feet auite raDidlv. ,and has beautiful fern-like foliage covered with fiery-red flowers that last from mid summer till late in the sea son, lending beauty and color wherever used. In my next article, I shall consider other varieties hav ing climbing characteristics.
