Vines and Creepers 109 



of the year the mill is almost covered by vines. This is a familiar sight 

 to anglers in the neighbourhood, as the stream that runs by the mill 

 is noted for its trout. 



Here is a suggestion for the treatment of deserted buildings of all kinds. 

 These eyesores might just as well be things of beauty. Vines will make 

 the transformation. Are there not some tumbledown buildings in your 

 neighbourhood? If so, why not start some native perennial vines against 

 their walls ? Perhaps the Virginia creeper grows wild in your neighbourhood. 

 Dig up a piece, carry it off in a basket, and plant it where it will do the 

 most good. You will do the community a good service, and the experience 

 will be worth while for its own sake.
