VINES 
Nothing can take the place of 
vines for a cool, inviting, homelike 
atmosphere. They not only fill 
places too small for other plants 
but with their rambling growth 
over wall and tree, tie in the house 
with its setting in pleasing manner. 
Aside from their attractive foliage, 
many vines produce a profusion of 
colored flowers which add to the 
beauty of the home picture. 
Ampelopsis Engelmanni (Englemans Ivy). 
Clings to any firm, rough surface—not 
good for smooth brick or stone. Turns 
crimson in Autumn. Leaves three-lobed 
and glossy. 
Ampelopsis Quinquefolia (Virginia Creep¬ 
er). Good vine for trellis, trees, stumps 
or frame work. Larger leaves than the 
Englemanni. 
Ampelopsis Veitchii (Boston Ivy). A 
rapid grower that clings to any hard sur¬ 
face—brick, stone or concrete. Small 
foliage. 
Celastrus Scandens (Bitter Sweet) Very 
hardy climbers, dense glossy foliage. 
Orange yellow berries in Autumn.

more difficult to get started, but very well 
worth the time and effort.
