VINES 
INES are just about the most satisfactory group of plants one can plant 
anywhere and are especially important in the South because of the number 
of different vines which will do well here. 
Flowering vines provide a maximum of beauty with a minimum of ground space. 
With a small space for the plant to start one can quickly cover unattractive walls, 
fences, trellises or dead trees with beautiful bloom held against a background of 
cooling green. 
Try Ficus repens for a permanent cover for walls. 
easy to keep trimmed.
