Pachysandra terminalis (see pages 4 and 5) is the 
great all-round ground-cover plant. At the noted 
Breeze Hill Gardens in Harrisburg, Pa., it thrives 
mightily on a terrace under ancient Horse Chestnut 
trees. Other plants have never been satisfactory in 
that situation. 
VINCA minor. Periwinkle; Myrtle. The beautiful 
-k old-fashioned plant found in front lawns and 
<§> under neighboring trees on old New England 
farms and in old cemeteries. Glossy evergreen 
foliage, and periwinkle-blue flowers in spring. We 
place it next in importance to Pachysandra as a 
ground-cover. 
The singular deep green color of the leaves 
presents a contrast when planted on banks, 
terraces, bordering driveways, foundation plant¬ 
ings, woodland edgings, in the rockery, corners of 
shady gardens, and many like situations. 
After years of experience we find it best to ship 
only 2-year-old, field-grown plants, grown by us 
for 2 years from divisions, or 234 -inch pot-plants 
which have been clipped to thicken them up and 
become well pot-bound. In planting do not place 
the croivn of the plant below the surjace oj the soil.
