SLOPE LANDSCAPING
Some Plants to Use
In Covering IncIines

removal. The creeping jumpers
are often used and those that
seem most resistant to red spider
mite injury are generally sue
cessful. This type of shrub-the
rose and the juniper-do not
root but simply rest on the
soil which helps to protect it
from beating rains and erosion.
Some Perennial Covers
Perennials for the slope gen.
orally have the same growth
characteristics that the desirable
shrubs have, lie, spread by un-
foreground shoots, have compact
f1brous root system near the sur
fact, or cover the ground.
The common daylily. Hemero-
calls fulva. is the best example
of an ideal perennial ground
cover. Very few of the better
named varieties have its spread
ing habit of growth, but all are
good plants for the sunny or
partially shaded slope.
Other less vigorous spreaders
are the bergamot (Monardal,
baby's breath (gypsophila) ,
swamp aster (Boltonia) but it is
too tall for the average perennial
bed, Shasta daisy, chrysanthe-
mum. etc. The latter two are not
recommended for this purpose
since they should be lifted and
! divided every year in order to
produce good quality bloom.
] For the shady bank several of
the ferns make good ground
covers. as do the partridge berry
D.! Mitchell repens), wild ginger
I (ASarum). and hardy ageratum
(Eupatorium). The favorite lily
of-the- valley is also a good cover
for the partially shaded slope.
I Iris are frequently mentioned
is suitable cover for the sunny
slope. They do have q spreading
habit of growth and shallow
roots. but they cannot be kept
mulched, and they are subject to
attack by the iris borer unless
kept :prayed.
Small Trees of Interest
+ A number Of shrubs have been
mentioned for the slope but there
are others including small trees
of especial interest for the shady
situation.
The shadbush (Amelanchier
canadensis). white fringe tree
! (Chionathus virginicu0, dog
wood tCornus species, rhodo-
dendron, mountain andromeda
(Pieris f1oribunda), blueberries,
viburnums. witch hazel, and sew
eral of the hollies are excellent
subjects for the naturalized
planting.
And, if it is protected from
trespass. We might add camellias
for early spring bloom.
The trees mentioned can be
trimmed to grow above some of
the shrubs so as to give a double
or two-story effect,
! However. the height of the
planting should be regulated to
the particular situation. GER
tainly it should not hide the
house from the street.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-12-11

Shrubs and trees offer another method of treating the
slope although they should be selected carefully that
they will not hide the house when mature. Mulch to
tect the soil from washing.

There are two things you

shouldn't try a strenuous sport

Stirling said he wanted to

stopped and Stirling went over

Cecil, who has been too long
away from his native Texas
undertook one day to show a
friend the Texas way to mount
horse.
Cecil stood back and took his
horses measurements. Then he
made a brave vault into the
saddle.
The only trouble was that he
vaulted too high. cleared the
horse, and landed fiat on hi,
back on the far side.
But things turned out well
after all. Before that leap Cecil
had crick in his back. When
he got up. the crick was gone
