Vinca Minor. S inches tall. This 
is a hardy creeping plant with 
shining green, evergreen foliage.

plant will do best in the shade, 
however, during the extreme heat 
of 1936 my block of Trailing Peri¬

a hillside without irrigation or pro¬ 
tection from the direct sun came 
through in excellent condition. It 
is one of the finest evergreen 
groundeover plants I know of.

lead. —I am furnishing the Physotegia 
7ivid Dwarf Pink which grows about 18 
nches tall with extra large heads of very 
ihowy pink flowers. It is far superior to

;turdiness, color and shape. This Physo-

iterv fine for cut flowers.

bena. —Perfectly hardy 
everywhere, it is of creeping habit growing

healthy foliage, and blooms almost contin¬

The blossoms come in showy small flower heads 
of light red color. Once this plant is started it 
will spread nicely, and it even seems that 
it does better where it receives little or 
—no attention. For border work, rock gar¬ 
den planting and for ground cover this 
makes you a very desirable plant. 
Everblooming Violet ward E - 
This plant is much superior to any of the 
commonly known Violets. Its leaves are 
much larger, and throughout the entire 
growing season of a shining green color. 
With its foliage alone this plant would 
be very attractive for border planting. 
However, in addition the flowers also are 
far superior to all other plants of the 
Violet group. Of a lovely dark blue color, 
larger than the blossoms of the common 
Violet, and even more fragrant. This 
plant blooms splendidly in the spring, fin¬ 
ishing its flowering season in late fall 
with an extra heavy setting of blossoms. 
Plant this fine Violet for borders, or 
wherever you wish to have a neat plant 
for flowers, pretty foliage and charming 
little cut flowers. 
Yucca Filamentosa ^ee d i™— 
A plant of tropical appearance, with long 
narrow leaves that are evergreen. De- 
velops into a dense clump of foliage, and 
makes a flower spike 3 to 4 feet high, 
on which quite frequently up to 100 of the 
creamy-white, bell-shaped blossoms can 
be counted. It blooms for a long time, 
and the plant requires very little care, 
once it is planted. Does well on the 
lawn, for background planting, and on 
cemetery lots, where care is generally 
very limited.
