Ivys—cont. 
Colchica Dentata. A vigorous rampant vine 
with widely spaced leaves, 6 to occasionally 10 
inches in length. The leaves rarely show any 
evidence of lobing, but the margins are marked 
with irregularly and widely spaced, small, 
sharp serrations. The color is medium green 
on new growth, darkening a little with age, 
but show little change in winter. The plant is 
probably more tender than any of the others 
listed here. 
Helix Angularis aurea. A vine of strong growth 
with large, indistinctly lobed leaves as much 
as 5 to 6 inches across. The new growth is 
light green in age becoming medium green. 
At its best, the leaves develop a pattern of 
small yellowish-green, angular areas filling the 
spaces between the veins, but at Glenn Dale 
this pattern is seldom formed. In winter all 
but the light greenish-yellow venation pattern 
is covered with light purplish brown. 
Helix Atropurpurea. A moderately vigorous 
vine with medium-sized leaves 2-3 inches 
across, somewhat darker green than the others 
during the summer. In winter they become 
dark purplish with a faint venation pattern of 
dull red brown. Plants 6 to 10 inches high. 
Helix Caenwoodiana. A slender vine of medium 
growth, similar to var. Doneralilensis, from 
which it differs chiefly in its somewhat wider 
shorter lobes, and slightly larger leaves. In 
winter its color is dark purple brown in the 
areas between the veins. The summer color is 
medium green. Plants 10 to 12 inches high. 
Helix Emerald Gem. A vine of moderate vigor¬ 
ous growth with thin, broadj obtusely lobed 
leaves about 2 in. in each dimension. The new 
growth is a splendid light green in summer. In 
winter the leaves are warm reddish bronze 
except for veins which remain light green. 
Plants 4-6 inches high. 
Helix Hibernica. Aureo-maculata. This plant 
differs from H. Helix hibernica chiefly in the 
presence of irregular yellowish-white blotches 
on the leaves. The blotches vary in size from 
very small to more than half a leaf. The 
growth is a little less vigorous than in the 
typical form. Plants 6 to 10 inches high.
