HERBACEOUS PERENNIAL VINES 97 
The small clover-like foliage of the bird-foot 
trefoil (Lotus corniculatus), makes it invaluable as 
a trailer and especially so when we consider that 
it will withstand shade. Itis particularly adapted 
for clothing steep banks, where its little yellow 
and reddish flowers are attractive. There is a 
double variety, but the single is rather more to 
my taste.
