Ornamental  Vines 
Climbing  Vines  are  as  necessary  to  the  comfort  and  beauty  of  a  home  as  the  trees  and  shrubs  we 
lant  about  it.  They  mature  quickly  and  tone  down  the  stiff  bold  angles  of  new  buildings  and  give  shade 
nd  flowers  over  porches  and  trellises.  They  are  cheerful  and  cooling  in  climbing  over  bowers  and  sum- 
ler-houses,  and  wild  and  natural  in  running  over  trees  and  stumps.  In  shaded  places  and  beneath  old 
rees  where  grass  will  not  grow,  they  are  often  used  as  a  ground  cover.  On  steep  slopes  and  banks 
liey  prevent  erosion.  They  ramble  over  unsightly  neglected  places  and  make  them  beautiful  with  fra- 
rant  and  brilliant  flowers.  Vines  are  strong,  robust  growers  that  require  little  attention  other  than  to 
ecasionally  train  them.
