Vines for Ornament 
For covering unsightly objects, stumps, rocks, etc., 
vines are always valuable. As porch draperies they 
keep ofF the sun and provide a cool, shady place, where it is a comfort to sit. 
For covering walls of buildings they possess a distinct worth, for they take away 
the bare appearance and give the mellow effect that is usually produced by 
age alone. 
Vines are needed at every home of any size to finish up the planting and 
the house. No porch can be entirely comfortable without them, because they 
both shade and screen. A half-dozen vines cost so little that everyone should 
have them adding their beauty to the rest of the planting and to the buildings.
