A Splendid Evergreen Vine

t= 4 Euonymus Radicans 
HY PLANT the Boston Ivy or Amfelopsis Veitcht which loses its 
\ \ leaves with the first frost, when you can have a more beautiful vine 
that holds its leaves all winter and is perfectly hardy? More 
beautiful than the English Ivy, which is not hardy. For covering stone or 
brick walls this Euonymus is unsurpassed. The leaves are small, of a rich 
lustrous green, and look just as well in winter as they do in summer. This 
vine can also be used instead of Box, which is not hardy north of 
Washington, for making garden edges or little hedges, and nothing is more 
beautiful for the purpose. 
20 cents each; $2 per dozen; $14 per 100 
Extra Strong Plants : 
30 cents each; $3 per dozen; 
$20 per 100 
We have the largest, finest and most comprehensive stock of Hardy Plants in America, including 300

illustrated catalogue describing these and hundreds of other Hardy Plants, Trees, Rhododendrons, Azaleas 
and Shrubs, will be sent on request.
