Assisting Climbers
Where climbers on house walls are desired, but there is a reluctance to drive in nails or staples, the difficulty may be solved with ease and satisfaction by hanging nets over the face of the wall and then securing tho growths to tho netting. Nor aro these the only uses of largo mesh netting. Squares may be stretched horizontally between four corner stakes over batches of such plants as outdoor chrysanthemums. and many other flowers with long, slender stems. By this means they are held secure and yet retain their natural habit. Theso supports should be placed in position before the growths are too far advanced, allowing the stems to find their own way.
