VINES and CREEPERS 
Besides providing color and beauty, vines also have a practical, 
utilitarian place in our gardens. The wall of your house may need 
the softening effect of a vine to bring the building more in har- 
mony with its surroundings—and keep it cool in summer. Pos- 
sibly the glaring back wall of your neighbor’s garage might be- 
come less conspicuous—even an object of beauty—when covered 
by a flowering vine. For sloping banks where grass cannot be 
induced to grow, vines will bring beauty and prevent erosion. 
Vines offered in this book provide a wide range of selection 
for every purpose. Boston Ivy clings to stone and masonry. 
Trumpet Vine for colorful mid-summer bloom, clings to wood or 
masonry. Hall’s Japan Honeysuckle in bloom provides a delight- 
ful fragrance—and is practically evergreen except during very 
cold winters when it may shed its foliage. The ever-popular 
large-flowered Clematis such as Jackmani and others lend charm 
and beauty to every home.
