Vines and Trailers 
INES are indispensable in the development of the home 
grounds. They give quick results, require little room and 
give effects impossible with any other class of plants, 
Vines are accommodating and obedient, and easily lend 
themselves to a number of uses. They will cover the cold 
and lifeless foundation stones of the frame house with a living green, and 
will give life to the stolid walls of brick or stone structures by a cover- 
ing laid on with shingle-like regularity, responding with fleeting undula- 
tions to the intermittent breezes as they race over the yielding surface. 
They transform the unsightly trunks of dead trees to objects of beauty ; 
they will scramble up the pillars of the porch or veranda and decorate 
the cornice with clusters of beautiful flowers, and will form screens 
for the seclusion of unsightly objects, and an airy covering over the 
summer-house and bower. They are always pleasant to look upon, and 
the constant evaporation of moisture from their leaves produces a cool 
shade such as no artificial material can supply. No forms of plant-life 
accentuate the home idea as do the vines with their cozy and inviting 
hospitality. The vine and the cottage are inseparable in literature.
