EVONYMUS 



The trailing Evonymus are particularly desirable for their dense 



evergreen foliage and extreme hardiness, some varieties on account 



of this taking the place of the English Ivy for wall covering, others 



that of the boxwood as an edging plant. 



Radicans. Deep green foliage, useful for covering low founda- 

 tion walls, or may be clipped the same as box-wood for an 

 edging plant. 30 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $18.00 per 100. 



Radicans Varaegata. A beautiful small-leaved green and white 

 variegated form ox the same habit as the type. 30 cts. each; 

 $2.50 per doz.; $18.00 per 100. 



Radicans Vegeta. (Evergreen Bittersweet. ) A strong-grow- 

 ing variety, with larger leaves than the type, and producing 

 bright orange-red berries, which remain on the plant the greater 

 part of the winter. As an evergreen absolutely hardy wall 

 cover this plant is unequalled. An enthusiastic horticultural 

 writer predicts that it will become as popular for this purpose 

 here as the Ivy is in England. 30 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $18.00 per 100. 



Kewensls. A new variety with very small dark green foliage. Everyone who has
