RaUs for Plutiag Vim
' If you want decorative vines on
your house and In your garden, watch
the plants to see tbst they behave
themselves with your property, advises
the American florae. And be careful
where yon place them.
Never plant a vine that clings by
stem roots Dear a wooden wall.
Never plant a twining vine where It
can ascend a sapling.
Alwaya watch a tendril climber to
make sure It doesn't strangle some
other part of Itself by encircling It
with a tendril.
Never plant a rank vine where It
can bury shrubbery or other plants
with It dense foliage.
