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 habits 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, pro¬ 
vide 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 denoted by (T). All Vines look well trailing over 
rocks, but some varieties have this as their chief purpose, and are marked 
(R).
