“Wh 
ere 
Nothing 
Grows 
H OW often do we complain of the spot in the deep shade 
of old trees, or on the north side of the house “where 
nothing grows” ? These bare patches of soil can be trans¬ 
formed into places of beauty and clothed with green through¬ 
out by . the use of carpets of low shade-loving evergreens, like 
Euonymus, English Ivy, Periwinkle or Myrtle, Japanese Spurge 
(Pachysandra) , dwarf St. John’s Wort, and the rapid-growing 
Honeysuckle ( Lomcera japonica). In colonies in these green 
carpets a wide range of shade-loving perennials thrive, and find 
a charming setting; the Lily-of-the-valley, Anemone Pennsyl¬ 
vania, Forget-me-nots; blue Harebells and golden Moneywort 
and graceful Ferns will make a charming transformation of 
these shady spots. Steep sunny slope and bank can be made 
a thing of beauty with Yellow Root ( Xanthorrhiza) of pretty 
foliage and purplish blossom, or with the equally rapid-growing 
Hall’s Honeysuckle or trailing Japanese Rose (Rosa Wichur- 
iana), and spreading Forsythia suspensa. A wide range of 
plants from many climes gives us the opportunity to beautify 
each bare and ugly spot.
