CLIMBING VINES 
Vines are a very interesting part of the well- 
planted landscape. They have many uses and 
lend charm and beauty wherever used. 
Perennial vines after they are once established, 
grow more vigorous each year. Woody vines, 
such as Wisteria and Fig Vine, grow to be quite 
old and often cover a large surface. For screen¬ 
ing unsightly objects, for softening the lines of 
entrances and for covering pergolas in the gar¬ 
den, vines are almost indispensable. 
CORAL VINE 
BAMBUSA ARGENTEA. Grows 25-35 feet high. 
Its long, slender stems slightly drooping frop* 
the weight of the masses of deep green foliage, 
form one of the most graceful plants in the 
garden. The clump type so much in demand. 
BAMBUSA ARGENTEA STRIATA. This variety 
is a variation of the above, having green stems 
striped yellow near the base, and with a white 
stripe down the green foliage. The variation 
is most pronounced in young plants.

PHYLLOSTACHYS AUREA. A running type of 
bamboo. Ultimate height is 30 to 40 feet. The

mended as an ornamental plant. Although of 
running type, it can easily be kept under con¬ 
trol by digging up runners as they appear.

Bamboo.) Another running type making very 
large canes. At the United States Experiment

ive. Easily controlled by digging up runners 
as they appear. $1.00 each.

BAMBOO 
The graceful branches and dainty foliage of the 
bamboos deserve a prominent place in every gar¬ 
den of the lower South. The clump sorts do not 
spread as rapidly as do some, and can be readily 
kept in bounds. For screens and windbreaks they 
are not surpassed by any other type of plants. 
Bamboos will thrive in practically any type of 
soil if supplied plenty of plant food, and plenty 
of moisture, although the location must be well 
drained. Screen that undesirable view with 
bamboo. 
COCOS AUSTRALIS (Hardy Cocos). Of the few 
palms which ever have a chance of surviving 
the winters of South Georgia and Alabama— 
even Northern Florida—the hardy Cocos Aus¬ 
tralis is outstanding as the most satisfactory. 
A very beautiful hardy palm with greyish- 
green, curved leaves.
