HE DERA. The Ivy. (Hedra is the Celtic word for 

 cord, alluding to the Ivy's stems. Nat. ord. Ivyworts 

 [Araliaceae]. Linn. 5-Pentandria, i-Monogynia.) 



The common ivy (H. He'lix) may be propagated by 

 seeds, but in all its varieties is quickest propagated by 

 slips, inserted hi a north border, in sandy soil, kept 

 moist in the autumn. This is a far better plan than 

 inserting it at once where it is intended to remain. 



Deep, rich soil suits the common ivy ; the tender kinds 

 should have lighter soil. For clothing dead trees, cover- 

 ing open fences, giving an air of antiquity, security, and 

 warmth and dryness to buildings, arid even producing 

 architectural effects, and covering the ground in shady 

 places with a green carpet, where scarcely anything else 

 would grow, the ivy is invaluable.
