A Splendid Evergreen Vine 



Euonymus Radicans 



WHY PLANT the Boston Ivy or Ampelopsis Veitchi 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 very 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

Approval of 

 Buying Public 



Two years ago Biltmore Nursery first offered its 

 product to the general public. A large volume 

 of business was the immediate result. 



Last year our trade more than doubled, and a 

 gratifying proportion of the orders we received 

 came from customers of the preceding year. 



For the current year we have already enough or- 

 ders to assure a still larger business, including no 

 inconsiderable number from pleased patrons of 

 1907 and 1908. 



The buying public has placed its seal of approval 

 on our claims as to the superior stock and supe- 

 rior service supplied by Biltmore Nursery, after 

 trying out our plants, shrubs and trees. 



This year we hope to have your order, whether or not 

 you have been a customer before. If you have not seen 

 our complete catalogue, send for a free copy.
