EUONYMOUS 



EVERGREEN EUONYMOUS are shrubs, vines and trailers and are the most 

 popular members of a very large family composed of both deciduous and evergreen plants. 

 The following are particularly beautiful varieties bearing handsome foliage which becomes 

 brilliantly colored in the fall. The attractive fruits lend additional interest. 

 These plants are good as specimens, or when planted in groups or hedges. 



EUONYMOUS patens (Spreading Euonymous). 



Develops into a broad, spreading bush 6 to 8 feet tall. 

 Leathery, bright green leaves, broad-oval to obovate. 

 Pink, globose fruit. Orange-red seed coat. Grows 

 well in the most ordinary soil. Splendidly adapted 

 for hedge-planting, it is destined to be of great value 

 to American gardens. 



E. radicans (Winter-creeper). A creeping plant, 

 rooting as it spreads over the ground to form a dense 

 carpet. Climbs to the tops of tall trees and readily 

 covers stone walls and wooden buildings, soon making 

 a curtain of dark lustrous green. Can also be used for 

 edging paths and borders. Grows quickly and with 

 a little trimming a pleasing edge is soon formed. 



E. radicans acutus (Sharpleaf Wintercreeper). 



A rooting and climbing vine, may also be used as a 

 ground cover in shady places. The under side of the 

 long, sharp-pointed leaves is red. 



E. radicans coloratus. Clinging evergreen vine 

 with brilliant autumn coloring. Against rocks, tree- 

 trunks, and low stone walls, it will cling freely by roots 

 emitted from the stems and soon forms a pretty drap- 

 ery. When support is lacking, the slender stems cling 

 together and form a neat dense hummock or irregular 

 pyramid. 



E. radicans minimus (Bay Wintercreeper). Slen- 

 der stems densely clothed with tiny ovate leaves, 

 each from a quarter to a half inch long, dull green, 

 with the principal veins prominent on account of 

 their paler color. It will cling to stone or wooden sup- 

 ports or will form a thick mound when its small roots 

 can not find support. 



E. radicans vegetus (Bigleaf Wintercreeper). A 



vigorous plant with roundish leaves and bushy habit. 

 Flowers and fruits abundantly. Free growing shoots 

 emit roots and the plant may be used as a climber or 

 as a bush.
