Four Winds Farm Nursery 
Spring 1938 
FOUR WINDS' GROUND COVER PLANTS 
In many situations such as dense shade underneath trees and steep dry hanks where 
it is impossible to establish good turf, it Is necessary to use plants which will 
tolerate these conditions. Often, too, an edging and underplanting of Myrtle, 
Pacliysandra or Euonymus is all that is necessary to put just the right finishing 
touch to an evergreen planting. 
The following group have been thoroughly tested and found to be just the right 
thing for the situations under which they are listed.
