    Area near Operations where soil and trees dumped. On steep bank of gravelly soil where soil dumped, dominated by the common annual weeds of the region, Chenopodium album, Abutilon theophrasti, etc. with single plants of the ornamentals Petunia X hybrida, Nicotiana X sanderae, and Cleome hasslerana, all of which have been cultivated in the Garden for a number of years.
