BOXWOOD —HOLLY- 
RHODODENDRONS, ETC. 
The evergreen shrubs contribute greatly to the gardens of the eastern United States because there are a multi' 
tude of varieties for almost every conceivable purpose from edgings and ground covers to the mass effects such as 
the Mountain Laurels and the great treedike Rhododendron maximum provide. 
These shrubs are especially handsome grouped in the thin shade of deciduous trees or at the edges of woods and 
thickets. They make splendid borders along the foundations of houses, especially valuable on the north side and in 
shady places where the coniferous evergreens are less likely to succeed. 
Many of them combine beautifully in plantings with evergreens. The different textures of their foliage make a 
delightful contrast and combine to give a pleasing effect. 
In addition to having their year ’round foliage, many of the varieties are valuable because of their flowers. _/*

EUONYMUS - Wintercreeper 
The Euonymus family includes several distinctly handsome ever¬ 
green shrubs and vines as well as the showy deciduous shrubs which 
are listed elsewhere. They are of great value in gardens since the 
shrubby types make excellent specimens or dwarf evergreen hedges, 
while the vines have intrinsic merit for covering walls, tree trunks, or 
banks with a cloak of shining green throughout the summer and 
winter. They are extraordinarily easy to grow because they are 
satisfied with any soil in sun or shade. 
Euonymus radicans. Wintercreeper. A low, procumbent shrub, having 
small leaves, dull green above, with whitish veins. It will climb over 
a wall or cling closely to masonry or stucco.

casionally sheared into shape it forms an attractive little hardy 
evergreen hedge. Each 10
