LOWERING 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. 
Fast growing and colorful, they meet a distinct need in southern plantings. The number of vines 
available to the southern gardener offers a variety of effective uses.
