Ground Cover Plants For Difficult, Shady Places 
For difficult places under trees and on banks where it is impossible for grass to thrive a class 
of plants designated as “Ground Cover Plants” can be used with good effect. These plants are 
also valuable in Evergreen and Shrub plantings, filling up the intervening spaces. Other ad¬ 
vantages are that they always look well, yet require practically no attention, and are as effec¬ 
tive in Winter as in Summer. Among the best plants for this purpose are English Ivy, Pachy- 
sandra and Periwinkle. 
Pachysandra 
Under trees Pachysandra is 
the real answer to the problem 
of covering the bare ground 
with greenery. Another ad¬ 
vantage is the protection to the 
roots of trees afforded by the 
Pachysandra. The glossy fo¬ 
liage is very attractive. Use 3 
or 4 to 1 sq. ft. of area to be 
covered.

25 Plants at the 
English Ivy 
The English Ivy is particu¬ 
larly effective used on banks, 
to edge walks and under trees. 
An advantage in using Barr’s 
English Ivy is that it goes fur¬ 
ther in coverage, each pot con¬ 
taining two plants—a twofold 
advantage. Plant 10 to 12 
inches apart and you will soon 
have a carpet of green.

Periwinkle 
Not only is the Hardy Peri¬ 
winkle a good ground cover 
under trees and on hillsides, 
but its pretty blue flowers 
also make an appeal. The 
glossy, evergreen foliage re¬ 
mains beautiful the year round. 
When planting do not place the 
crown of the plaint below the 
surface of the soil. Use 3 or 4 
to 1 sq. ft. of area.
