3. For tree 'trunks, unsightly j)ol€S, etc.— For stirh 

 places the EnglLsh ivy, Hedera Helix, is one of ilio 

 very best plants; it can be used with advantage to 

 cover the trunks of eueaiypts and to prevent the un- 

 sightly shedding of the bark without injury to the tree. 

 Tlie English ivy seems tu be thoroughly at home in the 

 coast climate of middle California, t'lemaiis montinia 

 can ])e used with good effect to climb up among the 

 liranches of Capressns semperriretts or Chama^ri/paris 

 Ijoirsonlana, again.st the dark foliage of which the 

 white flowers of the (Uematis contrast beautifully. 

 Koses are often treated in the same manner. Antpe/op- 

 sls quinquefolla is .sometimes made to climb a rugged 

 old specimen of Cordyline australis, and, often reach- 

 ing the tufts of leaves which crown the short brandies 

 of the latter, the young lianas of the creeper hang 

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

 sonia Hxoniensis has been allowed to wan<ler at will 

 over the rounded heads of live oaks {Querens agrifo- 

 ihi). T. mollissinia is sometimes used in tlie same 

 ■\vay. 



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

 — For long, sloping banks nothing has yet been tonnd 

 more effective than English ivy, which withstands the 

 dryness of a warm southern exposure without irriga- 

 tion. Pelargonium peltatum, Tropmolum 'nutjas,Jniu/>- 

 ertis Chinevsis, var. jjrocumhens, and J. iSabina, var. 

 prostrata, are also used satisfactorily. 



Along the banks of creeks, Senecio niikaiiioides 

 (here called German ivy), llnea 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 feiu-es, 

 English ivy is sometimes used, but is 

 not nearly as effective as the following, 

 all of which are met with : 



Fiens pumila, 

 Fragaria Californica, 

 Fragavia Chiloensis, 

 Fragaria Indica, 

 Fuchsia procumbens, 

 Linaria Cyralialaria, 

 Lotus Bertholetii, 

 Maheniia glabrata. 

 Pelargonium peltatum, 

 Sollya heternphylla, 

 Tropa:'olum majus. 



Of the above, Pelargonium pellatum 

 is by far the most satisfactory and most 

 freely used; in fact, it may be con.^id- 

 ered one of the characteristic f.-atures 

 of gardening in middle California. 



5. Firr fences.— Wxif;?. are fretjuently 

 used to form live hedges by ]dantin,g 

 them thickly alongside a fence. The favorites for such 

 situations are Rosa hrrigafa, Mnehlenheckia en,ti ple.ra , 

 Lyciiim RicMi, Pelargot,lin,i /irflatnni , tlie liardy tac- 

 sonias and Solainnn josmi uoxh's. Convolvulus pvr- 

 uratus and C. macrost<'(/ias can also be used to ad- 

 vantage in this way, and even Tropivohori 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 Eccremoearpus seabrr and 

 the maurandias; Tropa>olum. Canariense nn\y also be 

 used, but is less satisfactory because an annual and 

 requirinir a shady place, fpnma'a purpurea and /. 

 Quamoclit may also lie used for this purpose.
