VINES Add Grace and Beauty 
HERE is much beauty in vines properly chosen and well 
placed. A little thought regarding the purpose for which 
each vine is planted will enable you to choose the proper 
one. 
The vines which cling to brick and masonry have little 
growths along their stems which become fastened to the wall. 
Such vines as Boston Ivy and Engelmann Ivy belong to this group. 
Other types of vines grown against 
walls must have artificial support. 
Many vines have a particular 
value in their flowers, such as 
climbing roses, wisteria and cle¬ 
matis. These are all adaptable to 
lattice and trellis. Vines with a 
climbing habit and heavy foliage 
have their place in screening and 
completely covering large spaces. 
The Polygonum auberti, Bitter¬ 
sweet and Honeysuckles are ex¬ 
amples. They make excellent cov¬ 
erings for pergolas. 
As important as the choice of 
vines is their proper placing. Vines 
on houses should enhance the ar¬ 
chitecture and not obliterate it 
from view. The outside chimney 
usually seems cold and unattrac¬ 
tive without the companionship of 
a vine.
