Ivy covered walls are usually very
attractive to the eye. but there APP
pears to be a serious danger In allow
ing the vine to attach itself to stone.
The Boston Advertiser asserts that
"the stones in the main structure OF
Trinity Church show the effects of the
ivy to a noticeable extent. Where the
plant has grown over the surface the
rough points have become polished
and the stone covered with fine dust
as II disintegration had begun. The
green parasite appears to have al
ready eaten into the rock, 90 al
though the results are not yet deep
enough to cause any alarm, the ivy
would be stripped away If It we're not
for the sentiment attached to It." II
is said that stone church in London
has been wrecked by the disintcgra'
ton of its walls wrought by che
creeping ivy. The effects Of this vine
on wooden buildings are equally de-
structive. Evidently. we shall have to
get along without it.
