Show It7 Unpopular Ivy has so long been used as a symbol of close and undying affection that It Is uncomfortable to find a controversy going on as to how to kill and exterminate exter-minate this "pestiferous plant." It Is a beautiful thing, Ivy ; its leaves are exquisitely shaped; its color is satisfying. sat-isfying. Yet we are told now to look upon it as an enemy both to buildings and trees. All the same, I know walls covered thick with Ivy where I used to locate birds' nests, which I shall always al-ways regard with affection. And I have known trees smothered by ivy which were far less pleasant to look on than the creeper which deprived them of life. Montreal Family Herald. |
