Ington Coastal Plain

A. HEDGES. This group is divided into deciduous and evergreen plants. It is noteworthy by reason of the fact that there are more broad-leaved plants than deciduous ones. This is not the case in other portions of the country, except possibly in the far south. a.

Deciduous:

Berberis thunbergi Ligustrum ibota Thunberg's Japanese Barberry Japanese Privet Chaenomeles japonica Ligustrum ovalifolium Japanese Quince California Privet Crataegus oxycantha Ligustrum vulgare May Thorn European Privet Rosa rugosa Japanese Rose b. Evergreen:

Aucuba japonica Japanese Laurel Chamaecyparis lawsoniana Lawson's Cypress Picea excelsa Norway Spruce Prunus laurocerasus English Laurel Prunus lusitanica Portugese Laurel Pyracantha coccinea Evergreen Thorn Ilex aquifolium English Holly Ilex crenata Japanese Holly Mahonia aquifolium Oregon Grape Ulex europaus Gorse Viburnum tinus Laurestinus B. PLANTS FOR GROUND COVER. Practically all of these groundcover plants are evergreen in character; both those adapted to the open sun and those given for use in the shade. No attempt has been made to name the herbaceous perennials suitable for this purpose. a. Open sun:

Arctostaphylos uva-ursi Bearberry Iberis sempervirens Evergreen Candytuft Pachysandra terminalis Japanese Spurge Phlox subulata Moss Pink Saxifraga cordifolia Saxifrage b. Shade:

Evonymus radicans Climbing Evonymus Gaultheria shallon Salal Hedera helix English Ivy Lonicera japonica halliana Japanese Honeysuckle Pachysandra terminalis Japanese Spurge Vinca minor Periwinkle C. PLANTS FOR BORDER PLANTING. The shrubs and trees given in the group for refined lawn masses are confined largely to those sorts which are not generally available throughout the east for border planting by reason of their soil and moisture requirements. The native collected plants are very similar to the same sort of material found throughout the northern central states. a. Refined lawn masses:

Abelia grandiflora Hybrid Abelia Acer palmatum Japanese Maple Azalea hinodigiri Crimson Evergreen Azalea Azalea indica Indian Azalea Berberis buxifolia Box-leaved Barberry Berberis darwini Darwin's Barberry Berberis ilicifolia Holly-leaved Barberry Calluna vulgaris Scotch Heather Cornus mas Cornelian Cherry Cornus paniculata Grey Dogwood Cotoneaster francheti Franchet's Rose Box Cotoneaster simonsi Himalayan Rose Box Deutzia gracilis Slender Deutzia Diervilla hybrida Hybrid Weigela Enkianthus perulatus Enkianthus Erica mediterranea Pink Heather Forsythia suspensa fortunei Fortune's Golden Bell Lonicera maacki Late-blooming Honeysuckle
