E. radicans vegetus. Evergreen Bittersweet. The largest 
* and strongest growing Euonymus. Distinct from other 
evergreen Euonymus because of the orange-red ber- 
ries 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 
combination with laurel and other broad-leaved ever- 
greens. The leaves on old stems measure about | inch 
wide and 1!/, inches long; leaves on young growth are 
smaller.
