Garden Notes
Vines should be given due consideration
in the planning of garden and
grounds. They serve many purposes.
There are evergreen vines for screening
and for background: perennial
and annual vines for bloom and sum
mer shade: fruiting, vines, like gourds.
The evergreen vines should be a
great Joy of our section. We have so
many of these we are likely not to
appreciate them. First among them
is the native yellow Jassamine, desirable
not only for its evergreen foliage
but also for its delightfully fragrant
and beautiful yellow flowers which
come in such abundance In the early
spring. .
The rich green English Ivy will
grow in sun or shade and mak^s a
thick screen which the year round will
hide completely any unsightly rubbish,
old stumps and the like.
Japanese honeysuckle, kept within
bounds, is also desirable and, in addition,
enriches the soil on which it ib
growrf.
There is further, the woodbine that
Is half evergreen and has lovery
trumpet flowers: and tha coral honeysuckle
with Its yellow lined, rose-colored
flowers.
. Star of confederate Jassmine 1b another
beautiful climber with very
fragrant white blossoms and thick
foliage. Euonymus radicans, with the
big leaves, is a slow. growing but
handsome Vine. Eleagnus is especialvaluable
for deep shade. Firethorn
can be used for the same purpose
but it must have full sun to produce
its striking berries.
i
"Among the perennial vines that
ar? wot evergreen we And the scarlet
trnmoec creeper (bignonia): Kentucky
vine iresticus) with inconspicuous
flowers and dark blue berries in
clusters.
For iow fences perennial sweet peas
with pink and white blooms is good.
The most glorious of our deciduous
vines are the wistarias, growing like
trees in size and trunk and branches
and hung each spring with showy
drooping racemes of blue, white, purple
and now pink.
Then the lovely annuals: the delicate
cypress vine; tmlloon, scarlet
bean and canary vine: and the numerous
ornamental gourds.
The morning glories come in this
class, too. Among them Heavenly
Blue holds first place still, tho the
newer ones are highly recommended.

Heavy 8now In Far West
Helena, Mont., Sept. 8?Winter sent
a spearhead of snow and frost into the
mountain country today, adding a
generous amount of rain, dust and
wind for good measure.
The Bitter Root mountains in western
Montana and ranges along the
continental dfvide were tipped with
snow. Rain washed the eastern!
slopes of the Rookies?as much as
2.48 inches within 18 hours at Miles
City.
High water in Kansas and Nebraska
blocked highways and delayed auto
and rati traffic. Paradoxically, Kansas'
southwest area had its worst dust
storm of the year.
