HARDY VINCA 
Every year the Hardy Vinca or Trailing 
Myrtle enjoys a very good demand. This 
is due of course to their beautiful glossy, 
evergreen foliage. Where nothing else 
will grow on sloapy land or side hills in 
partial or dense shade or in open sun¬ 
shine, the Vincas will always make a very 
desirable ground cover and they also pro¬ 
duce flowers. Florists who have ceme¬ 
tery business can make good use of Vincas 
for planting on graves, also in vases and 
hanging baskets. A nice planting of these 
is always profitable. We list here a very 
good assortment at reasonable price.s. 
>II.\'OK. A trailing, evergreen plant, used 
extensively for carpeting the ground un¬ 
der shrubs or trees or on graves where it 
IS too shady for grass or other plants to 
thrive.

tractive variety, having runners of

VINCA RUBRA FLORA PLENA

grown it in our nurseries during the last 
year. It has the appearance of a very 
strong growing type, carrying a heavy 
setting of foliage from the crown to the 
tip of the branches. The double flowers 
are a striking mahogany red. We have 
every reason to believe that as soon as 
this Vinca is generally available it will 
become very popular.
