LOWERIN G vines make graceful drapery over arbors and walls, and when used to conceal 
an unsightly spot can serve a very good purpose. On a porch they provide shade and privacy. 
In the list below are some very fine plants such as Hedera, Pachysandra, and Vinca, to be used 
for ground-covers, as well as some distinctive vines. 
AMPELOPSIS. See Parthenocissus. 
BIGNONIA. See Campsis. 
BITTERSWEET. See Celastrus.

plants with orange-yellow berries for winter 
decoration. 
C. SCANDENS. False Bittersweet. Yellow 
flowers in June and orange, yellow, and 
crimson berries in autumn. 
Clematis 
An excellent vine for walls, fences, and 
orches. Though it looks delicate in both 
Risen and growth, the Clematis is a strong 
vine not difficult to grow. It likes well- 
drained, light garden loam. Part shade, at 
least over the roots, is ideal, and a fall mulch 
helps to stave off winter damage. 
CLEMATIS HENRYI. Large-flowered va- 
riety with creamy white blooms 4 to 5 inches 
in diameter. 
C. JACKMANI.  Violet-purple flowers of 
medium size. Very vigorous.

Vinca minor 
Probably the Wisteria is the most spectacular of all flower- 
ing vines. Certainly when it drapes its long racemes of bloom 
over a porch roof or pergola it is enough to stop any passer-by. 
It is extremely vigorous and hardy, and a thriving specimen is 
a treasured possession in any garden. It is the sort of perma- 
nent plant that seems to be a link with the past, for it is full 
of memories of the old South.
