CLIMBING, TWINING, CLINGING VINES AND IVIES 
Here we come into the fairy land of the flower-garden, for with vines 
and ivies one can produce really marvelous effects in a single season. 
Vines are about as important a part of your planting-scheme as are collar 
and necktie to a well-dressed man. 
Vines may be used in many ways and places. The ivies cling and 
cover closely, clothing wood, brick, stone, and other buildings in delight¬ 
ful draperies of green and other colors, especially in the fall. 
Porches, porticos, entrances, even buildings, of themselves bleak and 
bare, with vines become graceful and inviting. Archways, arbors, per¬ 
golas, pathways, and garden gates get their charm from well-selected, 
deftly trained climbers. Then, not the least important uses for these use¬ 
ful plants are as ground-covers for banks, stones, and stumps. They 
overcome evil (the unsightly) with good (beauty).
