HARDY CLIMBING PLANTS 



I 



205 



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 foundation 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 Variegata. A beautiful small-leaved green and white varie- 

 gated form of the same habit as the type. 30 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; 

 $18.00 per 100. 



Radicans Vegeta (Evergreen Bittersweet). A strong growing 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. 



Kewensis. A variety with very small dark green foliage. Everyone 

 who has seen this appreciates its value as a rock plant or ground cover, 

 to the ground, and is one of the most valuable plants for under trees where grass will not 

 grow. 30 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $18.00 per 100

 panicles in early summer, are entirely distinct; a peculiar, bronzy-red color. Strong plants,
