Sviblogs CLIMBERS 
The following vines should be considered in all plantings, some for their foliage, others 
for their bloom. There are vines that will cling directly to masonry and rough wood with- 
out any additional support, such as Boston Ivy and Creeping Fig. Others are dependent 
on trellis work on which they naturally twine, such as Star Jasmine, Honeysuckle and 
Bignonia. They are very valuable to add interest to blank walls, to provide shade on 
arbors, or to cover fences and walls. Many have exquisite flowers. 
The ground covers are becoming more and more popular, especially with the simpler 
treatment of modern architecture. An evergreen flowering groundcover often is more 
desirable than annuals or shrubbery in planting beds. 
Many vines when not trained on a trellis creep along the ground, making a very effec- 
tive informal groundcover. Many perennials when planted in masses achieve the same effect.
