VANCOUVERIA — Related to the Epimedi-

land foliage plants. The pinnated leaves 
rise from a running rootstock to from 8 
to 12 inches. The wiry running roots 
make large colonies which have the great 
merit of forming a perfect ground cover 
which does not choke out the dainty 
forest flowers. They are very hardy and 
should be planted in shade in an acid 
soil. To plant, excavate so that the 
slender stems may be laid flat and cov¬ 
ered with about 3 inches of soil, with 
any leaf-stems erect.
