VINES 
Vines 
No rules can govern the use of Vines in the landscape, yet no other class of 
plants can give any landscape the finishing touch so well as Vines. The versatility 
of their habit enables them to climb here and there, fill in awkward blank wall 
spaces, hide undesirable architectural features or accentuate good ones. Vines 
growing over trellises, arches, pergolas, provide shady romantic pathways. Vines 
sprawling over rocks and ledges add a naturalistic note. 
Some Vines have small suckers along their stems which enable them to cling to 
any walls they are planted against — those types are marked with the letter (C). 
Others will climb if given something to twine about or mesh into — these are de¬ 
noted by (T). All Vines look well trailing over rocks, but some varieties have this 
as their chief purpose, and are marked (R).
