NES FOR BEAUTY AMD SCREENING 
For beauty of blooms and foliage and especially for utility, few plants are as charming and have as many uses as 
vines. Vines can be sown for shade; they are easy to train on some designed structure for a particular effect and are 
very necessary in screening out objectionable scenes. Vines have innumerable other uses. Plant more vines, they are easy 
to grow.
