Japanese Spurge Bordering a Walk 
Japanese Spurge (Pachysandra terminalis) 
A broad-leafed Evergreen plant growing six to eight inches high and forming a 
close mat-like growth, formed by planting several plants close together. 
When used as an underplanting, it gives finish to your plantings of shrubs, trees 
and flowers, by covering the bare soil. It helps Evergreens to conserve moisture when 
planted beneath them, furnishing more of a natural forest condition. It is good for 
growing on banks and terraces, its fibrous roots and creeping stolons help to hold the 
soil. It is an excellent plant for a low border along drives and walks. It is an ideal 
plant for window boxes both winter and summer. It is just the thing for bare spots 
under trees where grass will not grow. It makes a beautiful and perpetual covering 
for graves in cemetery plantings. It thrives in city yards under smoky conditions. 
Bulbs may be planted in it. It is also an interesting plant in a rock garden. It is per¬ 
fectly hardy under all conditions, stands severe freezing without discoloring. It has a 
bright green, attractive foliage.

Picea canadensis (White Spruce) 
A very shapely tree, especially when young. Its foliage is light 
blue-green, in some trees quite decidedly blue. A native of the northern 
part of America, its range extending to the coast of the Arctic Ocean, 
attaining heights from 25 to 50 feet. It is thoroughly hardy, free-grow¬ 
ing, not particular about soil, but does well in moist or dry situations. 
A compact and upright grower of great longevity. Trees over fifty 
years old remain well branched at bottom, retain their pyramidal form 
and annually make un upward growth. It will grow on a great variety 
of soils, bear crowding well, and also stand severe trimming. Being a 
native of cold climates, it grows most successfully when planted north 
of a line from Philadelphia to St. Louis.
