VINES 
INES are just about the most satisfactory group of plants one can use anywhere 
and are especially important in the South because of the number of different kinds 
that will do well here. 
Flowering vines provide a maximum of beauty with a minimum of ground space. 
With a small area 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. It is close and clinging and easy to 
keep trimmed. 
ALLAMANDA cathartica williamsi. Ever- 
green climbing plant bearing golden yellow, 
trumpet-shaped flowers with reddish brown 
throats. Adapted to central and south 
Florida.

BAMBOOS 
are no more beautiful plants 
than the Bamboos. The long, willowy 
canes and fine foliage give a delicate, 
pleasing effect. Under suitable climatic 
conditions they will grow on very poor 
soil, if well supplied with plant-food. 
Good drainage they should have, and 
moisture in abundance.
