SOW VINE SEED For Geauty anv Utility 
Few plants are as charming and have as many uses as vines. For beauty of blooms and foliage they are unexcelled. 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 objec- 
tionable scenes. Vines have innumerable other uses. Plant more vines, they are easy to grow.
