Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Plants
After the gift Of trees of the earth-mother, the greatest for the gardener are the climbers that adorn them with infinite grace. It is needless to describe their beauty. Botanical and gardening descriptions Of them are numer ous, and nurserymen send out attractive lists Of them. SO all is well except their cultivation, which is Often a dismal failure. Impressed with the fact that in many large gardens it was rare to see a trace of the beauty of climbing plants, and wondering why it was so, I began to make little experiments; first of all, and in Obedience to their natural habit, which is to grow on trees and bushes in many lands of mountain copse and shore, I have planted them in every position, from an orchard hedgerow to a grove of Magnolias, and have had much success.
