Ornamental  Vines 
Climbing  Vines  are  as  necessary  to  the  comfort  and  beauty  of  a  home  as  the  trees  and  shrubs 
v^e  plant  about  it.  They  mature  quickly  and  tone  down  the  stiff,  bold  angles  of  new  buildings,  and 
:ive  shade  and  flowers  over  porches  and  trellises.  They  are  cheerful  and  cooling  in  climbing  over 
•owers  and  summer-houses,  and  wild  and  natural  in  running  over  trees  and  stumps.  In  shaded 
•laces  and  beneath  old  trees  where  grass  will  not  grow,  they  are  often  used  as  a  ground  cover. 
)n  steep  slopes  and  banks  they  prevent  erosion.  They  ramble  over  unsightly,  neglected  places  and 
aake  them  beautiful  with  fragrant  and  brilliant  flowers.  Vines  are  strong,  robust  growers  that 
equire  littb  attention  other  than  to  occasionally  train  them.
