climbers are the soft furnishings of thegarden.They contribute a luxuriant,well-appointedeffect,adding both height and interest.Additionally,where used to climb through trees and shrubs theyextend the season of the host plant.The intro-duction of climbers into a small garden,where spaceis restricted and therefore at a premium,greatlyincreases the range of plants to be grown.  \n# WHICH CLIMBER?\n\nWhatever the situation,however difficult,a climberis available to meet all but the most impossible ofrequirements.Evergreen ivies,many with bright,variegated foliage,will often flourish in dry,shadyconditions where the soil is poor and thin.Theshelter of a wall,perhaps that of the house,will allowmany less hardy subjects to be grown with con-siderable success.Against a much frequented paththe fragrance of a scented honeysuckle may beenjoyed to the full.For interest over an extendedperiod the small-flowered clematis which later carryfluffy seedheads are an excellent choice.A con-servatory or glasshouse where a constant temper-ature is maintained during colder months will allowall manner of tender climbers to be grown.  \n# SUITABLE SITES\n\nCorrect growing conditions will ensure healthy,successful plants.Before planting it is advisable tointroduce and work in generous quantities of wellrotted manure or garden compost.During dryperiods plants should be kept well watered
