E. radicans colorata. We consider this the finest 
★ ground-cover for large terraces and slopes, semi- 
waste hillsides, roadside plantings, and the like. 
Being entirely evergreen (foliage turns bronzy red 
in winter), it is very attractive at all seasons. A 
rapid-growing plant, rooting at every joint, and 
does not climb, thus giving a uniform, even effect. 
Thrives in sun or shade, and seems immune to 
scale. Leaves are V 2 inch wide, and 1% inches 
long, almost oval.

E. radicans kewensis. As a low evergreen ground- 
★ cover, this small-leaved Euonymus ranks high. It 
<$> forms a perfect mat of green leaves, turning 
bronzy red in autumn. The leaves are about 
1/4 inch wide and a trifle longer, almost round. 
Fine for evergreen creeper in rock-garden, as it 
will cling to large boulders and reach about 2 feet 
or more. Most suitable for low walls, edge of 
pools, areaway copings, low slopes, and terraces.

E. radicans vegetus. Evergreen Bittersweet. The 
★ largest and strongest growing Euonymus. Dis¬ 
tinct from other evergreen Euonymus because of 
the orange-red berries carried during the winter— 
hence its common name, “Evergreen Bittersweet.” 
Rather slow to start, but as soon as it becomes 
established, climbs rapidly. Used on walls of any 
kind and to spread along low stone walls and 
embankments. It is also ideal for foundation 
plantings and as a facing-down plant in combina¬ 
tion with laurel and other broad-leaved evergreens. 
The leaves on old stems measure about 1 inch 
wide and IV2 inches long; leaves on young growth 
are smaller.
