Ivy. — What is the most rapid mode of covering a flat surface, say that of 

 ground under large trees, with ivy, as a substitute for turf? Should cuttings 

 be planted, or should long shoots be taken from a wall, and pegged down ? — 

 W. R. 



Evergreen Herbaceous Plants. — Would any of your readers furnish a list 

 of the more hardy flowering plants which retain their leaves all the winter, as 

 perfectly as do pinks and carnations ? I do not object to such undershrubs 

 being introduced among them as the thyme, iberis, &c. j but the rosemar}', 

 lavender, and tutsan I do not think suitable. — Amateur. 



Has the Melia Azedarach ever flowered in the open air in Devonshire, 

 where, I understand,, it grows freely ? — Idem.
