EUONYMU S 
E. radicans. Creeping Euonymus. A low, trailing sbrub, whose pros¬ 
trate branches root along the ground. It is a very desirable sort for covering 
rocky banks or rough walls, and is perfectly hardy. The foliage is small, dull 
green; the growth is very close. 
E. radicans, var. variegata. Variegated Creeping Euonymus. A form 
of the above, with foliage variegated with creamy white and light rose. In 
the fall it turns to a beautiful shade of purplish pink. 
E. Japonica. Large-leaved variety. This sort closely resembles the ever¬ 
green shrub Euonymus Japonica , but the leaves are more oblong, and in addi¬ 
tion to its bushy form, it has a climbing habit; the foliage is very dark green 
and glossy, leaves about \ '/z inches long. It will be found a valuable sort, but 
is not so high a climber as the foregoing. 
HEDERA 
H. Helix. English Ivy. This plant is so well known as to need but little 
description. It will be found quite hardy and very satisfactory, especially 
when planted on a northern exposure. Very useful for covering walls or bare 
spaces under trees where grass will not grow, and in such places it often covers 
the trunks of the trees to a height of 8 or io feet. 
HYDRANGEA 
H. scandens. Climbing Hydrangea. A vine from Japan, with shining 
green leaves and white flowers, in loose clusters in June. It must have some¬ 
thing to cling to before it will run, being like the common ivy in this respect.

L. latifolius. Everlasting Pea. This is a good, strong grower, with light 
grayish green foliage, and bearing in late summer large clusters of pea-shaped, 
rose-colored flowers. A useful vine for trellis work, and can be used to 
advantage in wild plantings and on rocky banks. 
L. latifolius, var. albus. White Everlasting Pea. Similar in habit and 
growth to the foregoing, but with white flowers.
