NEW CLARET- 
COLORED VINCA 
Vinca Alpina. How very welcome is this 
newcomer to the short list of good 
ground covers that can be planted in 
either shade or sun. It is more than 
that, since it lends a distinctive note 
to the color scheme with its abundant 
. large velvet flowers of deep claret. 
I ne plants continue to bloom from earliest spring throughout the 
growing season until late fall, covering the ground amply with 
rich green foliage, though never "over-running” the garden. Its 
hardiness can be depended upon. Since it is one of those unusual 
characters which can adapt itself to any situation, it can be 
planted in mass either under trees, or again, hold its own for love-
