CLIMBING VINES 
Vines are a very interesting part of the 
well-planted landscape. They have many 
uses and lend charm and beauty wherever 
used. 
Perennial vines after they are once es¬ 
tablished, grow more vigorous each year. 
Woody vines, such as Wisteria and Fig 
Vine, grow to be quite old and often cover 
a large surface. For screening unsightly 
objects, for softening the lines of entrances 
and for covering pergolas in the garden, 
vines are almost indispensable.

Mexican Rose. A perennial vine which

Hedera Helix 
BAMBOO 
The graceful branches and dainty foli¬ 
age of the Bamboos deserve a prominent 
place in every garden of the lower South. 
The clump sorts do not spread as rapidly 
as do some, and can be readily kept in 
bounds. For screens and windbreaks they 
are not surpassed by any other type of 
plants. 
Bamboos will thrive in practically any 
type of soil if supplied plenty of plant food, 
and plenty of moisture, although the loca¬ 
tion must be well drained. Sereen that 
undesirable view with Bamboo. 
BAMBUSA ARGENTEA. Grows 25 to 35 
feet high. Its long, slender stems 
slightly drooping from the weight of the 
masses of deep green foliage, form one 
of the most graceful plants in the garden.
