CLIMBING, TWINING, CLINGING VINES AND IVIES 



Here we come into the fairy land of the flower-garden, for with vines 

 and ivies one can produce really marvelous effects in a single season. 

 Vines are about as important a part of your planting-scheme as are collar 

 and necktie to a well-dressed man. 



Vines may be used in many ways and places. The ivies cling and 

 cover closely, clothing wood, brick, stone, and other buildings in delight- 

 ful draperies of green and other colors, especially in the fall. 



Porches, porticos, entrances, even buildings, of themselves bleak and 

 bare, with vines become graceful and inviting. Archways, arbors, per- 

 golas, pathways, and garden gates get their charm from well-selected, 

 deftly trained climbers. Then, not the least important uses for these use- 

 ful plants are as ground-covers for banks, stones, and stumps. They 

 overcome evil (the unsightly) with good (beauty).
