26 WALL AND WATER GARDENS 



of using what are more of the nature of flowering 

 plants, the merits of this grand climber must never be 

 forgotten. There are often places where such a wall- 

 garden as has been described may need some dark 

 and quiet background. If at the end of such a scene 

 any wall or building returned forward square with the 

 wall, here would be the place for Ivy. Indeed there 

 are many vast piles of building whose grim severity 

 could endure the presence of nothing of a less serious 

 character. Thus this great outer wall of the Alhambra, 

 towering up in its massive simplicity, could have 

 borne no other climbing plant than its one great 

 sheet of Ivy.
