From Booklist:

Here is everything gardeners ever need to know about vines, including choosing the right ones, building and installing trellises and arbors, planting and maintenance, general information on training, pruning, and propagation. The Crandalls divide their book into chapters on hardy vines, annual climbers, vines with edible fruit, vining ground covers and trailing shrub covers, climbing roses, and vines for frost-free regions. For each vine listed here--and the list is extensive--there is specific information on flowers and fruit, foliage, height and habit, culture, uses, propagation, and pruning. In the case of vines with edible fruit, there's harvesting information. In the chapter on climbing roses, 20 varieties noted for their vigorous growth habits and floral production are listed. There's a glossary of horticultural terms, and color illustrations are found throughout the book. George Cohen

Review:

Suggestions and techniques for using vines are clear and accompanied by color photos of the plant, with care and maintenance instructions included. The range of vines for all types of garden are divided by type; from hardy vines and annual climbers to climbing roses and edible fruiting vines, making for a fine and complete coverage. -- Midwest Book Review
