A, Parthenocissus quinquefolia. Along fence rows and as a cover for steep banks, the Virginia creeper should 

 find much use. Its fruits are much sought after, especially by birds. B, Prunus americana. This plum 

 and its close relatives are of outstanding merit in controlling erosion on poor sites. Its value as cover for 

 wildlife is equally great. C, P. maritima. Although a native on sandy soil, the beach plum has been 

 successfully used on poor clay soil. It forms an excellent cover both for soil and wildlife, and produces aa 

 abundant crop of fruit.
