fined, compact and never becomes straggly. It is a prolific

sun or partial shade. Offered for the first time it takes its place 
as one of the most valuable of the better ground covers.

* VINCA (Periwinkle or Trailing Myrtle) 
It is often a perplexing problem to find the plant that will do 
well in a dense shade; right there is where Vincas of the hardy

woodlands and on spots it is desired to cover where no grass will 
grow. It is valuable for planting on cemetery lots by reason of 
its dwarf creeping habit. The foliage is green all Winter.
