“Use Pachysandra” has become a popular saying and thought with many landscape archi¬ 
tects and plantsmen when confronted with the problem of planting situations such as follows: 
Bare areas under dense shade. 
Bare ground under evergreen plantings. 
Bare ground under shrub plantings. 
Bare areas along shady driveways. 
It stands out, not as a substitute for some 
use for these situations. 
Bare areas in courtyards. 
Bare areas in city yards. 
Bare areas at entrance gateways. 
other plant, but as the best and only one to 
Pachysandra recommends itself—evergreen winter and summer; hardy under ah condi¬ 
tions; disease-free; even height of 6 inches; does not flop in winter. 
Distinctly benefits shade trees, evergreen and shrub plantings, not alone in providing 
the natural mulch or forest condition of top-soil so important to them, but also in bringing 
out and adding an effect of completeness. The finished appearance that Pachysandra gives 
to plantings is unquestioned. It will carry out natural lines, face down and relieve foundation 
plantings, rhododendron borders, azalea plantings, extend the planted rock-garden from 
sun to shade in a naturalistic manner, enhance woodland gardens, combine with and protect 
plantings of spring bulbs. There are few plants as satisfactory as Pachysandra, and none 
that surpass it.
