Decorative Plants 
As this group-name implies, these plants are largely for decorative purpose—to adorn 
and embellish with their bright colors the house or other buildings, or other plants, without 
themselves imparting much definite permanent form. Some sorts, as the Bush Roses, and 
certain of the Perennials are an end in themselves, planted to be admired for their own 
beauty rather than their effect in combination with other features. 
The Vines and the Climbing Roses are materials par excellence for softening house- 
corners and empty wall-spaces, for trailing over arches and doorways.
