VINES 
A Vine covered pergola makes a worthwhile addition to ANY GARDEN. 
A careful study of your grounds will show immediately where Vines CAN 
BE USED to achieve beautiful effects. Be sure to make the right selection 
FOR THE SPOT, as some vines and creepers will thrive better than others, 
and color harmony is an important feature. 
Do not allow your vines to cover entirely a WELL DESIGNED doorway 
OR WINDOW. Let them frame the good features of the house and cover its 
ARCHITECTURAL DEFECTS. Training or TRIMMING SHOULD BE 
SHREWDLY DONE to keep the naturalistic effect, which vines give to a 
house planting.
