196 TOWN PLANTING 



in the chemically impure atmosphere of Lam- 

 beth and other adjoining places. Vine a 

 minor (the Lesser Periwinkle) may be seen 

 in quite a healthy condition in St. Paul's 

 Churchyard and in the gardens of Lincoln's 

 Inn Fields; while in Houndsditch both 

 Ampelopsis Veitchii and the Common Ivy do 

 remarkably well. 



THE COMMON HAZEL is healthy and happy 

 in the smoky, dusty grounds of the Home for 

 Asiatics, East India Dock Road, as also in 

 the Tower gardens. 



THE BIRD CHERRY (Cerasus Padus) may 

 be seen in good form within a stone's throw 

 of the Royal Mint; while by the smoky and 

 dusty Commercial Road a fairly large speci- 

 men of that by no means common London 

 tree, Gink go biloba, may be seen. 



Of Roses the following are found to do 

 best in London: Blanc Double de Coubert, 

 Caroline Testout, Clio, Gloire de Margotten, 

 Grace Darling, Gustave Regis, Hugh Dick- 

 son, Madame Georges Bruant, Madame Isaac 

 Periere, Mrs. John Laing, Pink Rover, Ulrich
