PLANT VINES FOR FOLIAGE AND BLOOMS 
Few plants are as charming and have as many uses as vines. For beauty of blooms and foliage they are unex- 
celled. 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.
