used as a substitute for boxwood edging.

E. radicans vegetus. Bigleaf Wintercreeper. 
This has round, thick, leathery leaves about 
1 inch in diameter. It will make a branchy little 
bush 2 feet high, or it will climb like a vine. 
Most effective for use in front of taller ever¬ 
greens, or for planting at the base of walls or 
house foundation. Even when small it bears 
heavy crops of showy red berries like those of 
bittersweet, to which it is closely related.

ILEX crenata. Japanese Holly. The leaf is like 
that of boxwood, not the Holly, and the berries 
are black. You will find it most happy in 
among other evergreens in the foundation 
planting or out among the pines and shrubs or 
in the woods. The outline of the plant is open 
and picturesque, not smooth like the boxwood. 
The tips of the plants may winter-kill if grown 
in the open, but that is no objection; it merely 
trims it back and keeps it down to a most 
useful size.
