3. For tree -trunks, unsightly poles, etc. For such 

 places the English ivy, Hedera Helix, is one of the 

 very best plants; it can be used with advantage to 

 cover the trunks of eucalypts and to prevent the un- 

 sightly shedding of the bark without injury to the tree. 

 The English ivy seems to be thoroughly at home in the 

 coast climate of middle California. Clematis montana 

 can be used with good effect to climb up among the 

 branches of Cupressus sempervirens or ChamcKcyparis 

 Lawsoniana, against the dark foliage of which the 

 white flowers of the Clematis contrast beautifully. 

 Roses are often treated in the same manner. Ampelop- 

 sis quinquefolia is sometimes made to climb a rugged 

 old specimen of Cordyline australis, and, often reach- 

 ing the tufts of leaves which crown the short branches 

 of the latter, the young lianas of the creeper hang 

 down in beautiful festoons. In Golden Gate Park. Tac- 

 sonia Exoniensis has been allowed to wander at will 

 over the rounded heads of live oaks (Quercus agrifo- 

 lia). T. mollissima is sometimes used in the same 

 way. 



4. For slopes, retaining walls and banks of creeks. 

 For long, sloping banks nothing has yet been found 

 more effective than English ivy, which withstands the 

 dryness of a warm southern exposure without irriga- 

 tion. Pelargonium peltatum, Tropceolum majus, Junip- 

 erus Chinensis, var. procumbens, and J. Sabina, var. 

 prostrata, are also used satisfactorily. 



Along the banks of creeks, Senecio mikanioides 

 (here called German ivy), Vinca major and Zebrina 

 pendula are frequently used, growing with the great- 

 est luxuriance. The German ivy has escaped from 

 these special situations and has established itself as 

 a denizen in several places. 



For low retaining walls and fences, 

 English ivy is sometimes used, but is 

 not nearly as effective as the following, 

 all of which are met with: 



Ficus pumila, 

 Fragaria Californica, 

 Fragaria Chiloensis, 

 Fragaria Indica, 

 Fuchsia procumbens, 

 Linaria Cymbalaria, 

 Lotus Bertholetii, 

 Mahernia gliibrata, 

 Pelargonium peltatum, 

 Sollya heterophylla, 

 Tropseolum majus. 



Of the above, Pelargonium peltatum 

 is by far the most satisfactory and most 

 freely used; in fact, it may be consid- 

 ered one of the characteristic features 

 of gardening in middle California. 



5. For fences. Vines are frequently 

 used to form live hedges by planting 

 them thickly alongside a fence. The favorites for such 

 situations are Rosa Icevigata, Muehlenbeckia complexa, 

 Lycium Richii, Pelargonium peltatum, the hardy tac- 

 sonias and Solanum jasminoides. Convolvulus pur- 

 puratus and C. macrostegius can also be used to ad- 

 vantage in this way, and even Tropveolum majus is 

 sometimes requisitioned for the purpose. 



For 6- or 8-foot woven wire fences, around tennis- 

 courts, etc., nothing has been found more satisfactory 

 than the delicate tracery of Eccremocarpus scaber and 

 the maurandias; Tropceolum Canariense may also be 

 used, but is less satisfactory because an annual and 

 requiring a shady place. Ipomwa purpurea and /. 

 Quamoclit may also be used for this purpose.
