VINCA MINOR (Evergreen Myrtle) (Periwinkle). 1 '" rt 
One of the best evergreen plants for covering the ground and is a success in auitr 
shady places, provided the ground is fertile. Its glossy foliage and inverted blue-bell-like 
flowers in early spring are familiar to all. KC

WOODRUFF, see Asperuia. 
WINDFLOWER, see Anemone, page 35. 
YARROW, see Achillea. 
YUCCA FILAMENTOSA (Adam’s Needle), also see page 51. 
One of the most valuable plants in cultivation for general garden and landscape plant 
ing. Its dagger-like foliage, which is evergreen, forms an attractive clump of foliage from 
which shoots, in July and August, tall and stately spikts 3 to 6 feet high, bearing large 
panicles of white lilies which are most picturesque and decorative. While a splendid 
garden plant, it thrives equally well planted on the lawn or among shrubbery, and is 
well suited to dry, sandy and sunny locations. We cannot too highly recommend this 
Yucca.
