Vines and Trailers 



ICTURES may be completed and even created with the proper use 

 of vines and trailers. Buildings, arches, pergolas and other architectural 

 features may be transformed from barren objects to beautiful and interesting 

 pictures. 



The grace and mellowing touch of vines and trailers rambling over old 

 tree-stumps, fences and walls, mercifully concealing their ugliness, in na- 

 ture's own way change them into objects of restful beauty. 



In this list of plants you will find one or more varieties which will just 

 suit your own particular need.
