slg many fine ground-covers 
available for those areas which re- 
quire a more interesting texture than 
grass and are not suitable for a shrub 
planting. 
The upper picture shows a bank of 
MYRTLE, Vinca minor, whose dark 
glossy evergreen leaves are enlivened 
throughout the Summer with gay blue 
flowers. 
The center picture shows a slope cov- 
ered with ROCK COTONEASTER, 
Cotoneaster horizontalis, in the fore- 
ground and JAPANESE SPURGE, 
Pachysandra terminalis. The arched 
sprays of small shiny green foliage of the 
Cotoneaster bear bright red berries in 
the Fall. 
Japanese Spurge (lower picture) forms 
a lustrous mat of evergreen foliage, has 
spikes of creamy flowers in the Spring 
and like Vinca will grow well in the 
shade.
