VINES and CLIMBERS 
W ITH their variance in color, their beauty of foliage and blossom, 
their grace wherever used, these vines frequently provide the fin¬ 
ishing touches of any planting. Some adhere to the masonry, 
some must be trained through lattice or trellis and others with their ten¬ 
drils will cling tenaciously, unshaken by wind or weather. Visualize the 
effect desired and train them accordingly to cover your walls and pilasters, 
your lattice or trellis, the pergola or laundry posts, the porch or portico, 
veranda or on the fence for shade, grace or flower and let them ramble in 
their plenitude—objects of beauty and a pleasure to the planter.
