 green plant of a shrubby nature thriving on dry banks. The white 

 flowers are bell-shaped, borne in terminal clusters, and are followed

 each; $4.50 for 10; $40.00 per 100. 



EUONYMUS. The trailing Euonymus are particularly desirable for 

 their dense evergreen foliage and hardiness. A slight protection to 

 shade the plants in winter is desirable to prevent the sun from burn- 

 ing the leaves.

 useful for the rock-garden or for carpeting the ground. The small 

 oval foliage is dark green in color vrith lighter veins; a very pretty

 glossy green, dense foliage. It is a moderate climber, particularly

 wood. 50c. each; $4.50 for 10; $40.00 per 100.

radicans vegetus. Big-lea} Winter Creeper. This is a most valuable

 fail. It is also our best hardy evergreen vine, retaining its fohage 

 through the winter, even when exposed to the sun. 75c. each; 

 $6.00 for 10; $48.00 per 100. 



ENGLISH IVY {Hedera helix). This well-known vine is desirable
