HEDERA HELIX 
(EVERGREEN ENGLISH IVY) 
The well known English Ivy is obtainable 
from us in a number of types. Their uses 
are numerous—as a low trimmed hedge, 
outlining paths, covering stone walls, sun¬ 
dials, embankments, as a general ground 
cover in semi-shade or shade; in fact, al¬ 
most all of the uses to which “ Pachysan¬ 
dra ” may be put except full sunlight. 
As a ground cover we recommend the 
planting of small plants placed about 
12 inches apart. They will cover the bare 
ground quicker and can be clipped better 
than larger plants. Free from diseases and 
insect pests.
