E usually think of gardens as having only two dimensions, length 
and breadth. They also have height and vines take care of this 
third dimension with grace and beauty. Consider what the per^ 
gola would be without its festoons of lavender Wisteria or the 
lattice fence without the delicate tracery of Clematis. How about the 
delicious fragrance of Honeysuckle on a warm June afternoon or the glory 
of the Virginia Creeper after the first frost? Vines planted on posts or 
trellises take up practically no room in a garden and provide quantities 
of flowers and berries at different seasons of the year. They also act capably 
as screens. This is a most valuable group of plants for the home landscape 
and one that is rather apt to be overlooked.
