“rangle-tangle” — Covering dead trees— For the pergola—In the 
rock garden — Covering lamp posts — Back-stops for tennis courts — 
Covering buildings and stone work of all descriptions — Various means

Tue chief value of vines lies in their ability 
quickly to cover trellises and supports — an 
important factor in shutting from view unsightly 
objects such as outbuildings, rubbish heaps, 
laundry yards, and other necessary evils around 
ahome. They are also the sole means of covering 
buildings and such objects. In fact, there is 
no class of plants which has so wide a variety of 
uses, and which offers such an opportunity for 
any one with a little taste to carry out schemes 
of his own devising. It is these little oddities 
that go a long way toward heightening the 
attractiveness of the home grounds.
