Vines are an important class of plants when, by their proper selection, they can be utilized not only for their beauty, but to provide 

 shade and also to screen unsightly places about the garden or home. The annual vines are the quickest growers and in most cases 

 their foliage is finer and not as broad-leaved as the perennial climbers.
