Plants for Special Purposes 
Binding and Covering Low Banks and Terraces 
Many times it is a problem to know the proper treatment of a high or low embankment, perhaps 
adjacent to the house or in another conspicuous position. 
Such positions can readily be covered with low-growing evergreen plants such as Euonymus radicans 
colorata, Vinca minor, or other prostrate or semi-prostrate plants; or a combination with prostrate ever¬ 
greens will be attractive, particularly because proper combinations will give rich contrasting foliage effect 
throughout the entire year. 
We advise close planting either for large or small terraces and banks, that the soil be filled quickly with 
the roots of the plants to prevent washing. Also use Peat Moss in the soil as a mulch. We will gladly sug¬ 
gest planting arrangement and estimate costs if you will send us brief description of the area to be planted.

Roadside Planting 
The object of roadside planting should be to obtain a natural effect. Therefore, the plants should be in 
large, irregular masses—a variation of low carpeting types with medium and high shrubs and trees, working 
out the natural lay of the land to the best advantage and taking into serious consideration the type of traffic 
using the road and how the planting will affect their clear vision at corners. 
Best results are obtained by using small, well-rooted plants, closely placed to give proper, quick, and 
lasting mass and ground-cover effect along our roadsides. Use plants which will bear out the natural 
atmosphere in the locality and give beauty with naturalistic effect.
