pensive to mow them. Again, there are 

 areas so shaded that it is impossible to 

 cover them with satisfactory turf. 



How should such places be treated t 

 How does nature cover themf Shaded 

 ground, like that in woods, is covered 

 with fallen leaves or with shade-loving 

 plants. Steep hillsides, before the plow 

 arrived, were covered with some growth 

 that prevented washing, so that small 

 streams ran clear even after heavy rains. 

 Often there is an undergrowth of shrubs 

 or young trees that makes an effective 

 covering under overhanging trees, and 

 in the open the ground is frequently 

 covered with shrubs and vines. 



Let us consider various situations 

 which present some difficulty and enu- 

 merate some of the plants which might 

 be used with satisfaction for covering 

 the ground. 



Steep Surfaces. 



Steep surfaces, such as the sides of 

 ravines, can generally be protected and 

 at the same time made pleasing by using 

 a combination of trees and shrubs in a 

 way similar to that which nature uses 

 in protecting the borders of valleys and

water courses. The writer knows of ex- 

 tremely steep surfaces in Iowa and Mis- 

 souri that are perfectly protected by a 

 growth of natiVe trees, such as oaks, 

 hickories and lindens, and an under- 

 growth of Indian currant. Other com- 

 binations which come to mind are masses 

 of wild crab apples, with a few oaks 

 extending above them; there may be 

 similar combinations with thorn apples 

 instead of crab apples, or there may be 

 a group of thorn apples and wild crab 

 apples. Maple trees, elms, redbuds, flow- 

 ering dogwoods, sassafras and all the 

 native shrubs offer material with which 

 most beautiful effects can be made. 

 Often an undergrowth of vines or creep- 

 ers, hepatica, bloodroots, violets, golden- 

 rod, asters and other perennials will en- 

 hance the beauty of the entire combina- 

 tion of foliage and flo^wers.

considerable areas are covered with one 

 kind of tree or shrub. There may be 

 combinations of two or three shrubs or 

 of shrubs and trees that are satisfactory, 

 but a general mixture made up of many 

 species is apt to have a spotted and con- 

 fusing effect. 



The treatment that has been recom- 

 mended for boundaries is also applicable 

 to the areas at the cornerfi and angles
