Vines tee 
Vines are an important class of plants, as they contribute a lasting 
appeal in the positions to which they may be assigned. As climbers, 
they cling and cover blank wall space of brick, stucco or stone, while 
others grow over architectural features such as trellises, arches or 
pergolas, providing delightful backgrounds of color or casting wel- 
come shade. Some will trail over rocks, or rough slopes, softening 
the harsher outlines. Those types which will cling to walls are 
marked with the letter (C); those types which require some support 
to twine about or grow onto, are marked with the letter (T); while 
some which are used mainly for trailing over rocks or banks are 
marked (R). 
Vines grown in pots may be shipped and planted at any time 
throughout the spring, summer, and fall.
