Evergreen 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 results. These plants are also valuable in 
Evergreen and Shrub plantings, filling up the intervening spaces. Other advantages are that they always 
look well, yet require practically no attention; and being evergreen, are as effective in Winter as in Sum- 
mer. Among the best plants for this purpose are English Ivy, Pachysandra 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 
foliage is very attractive. Use 
3 or 4 to 1 sq. ft. of the area 
to be covered.

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 plant below the 
surface of the soil. Use 3 or 4 
to 1 sq. ft. of area.

HELPFUL PLANTING SUGGESTIONS 
Shady ‘places without grass, as a rule, are usually found under trees with dense foliage. Shady Side 
Lawn seed has its limitations in these areas depending on the quantity of sunlight available. 
Cover plants is the answer, as they will thrive where lawn grass fails to grow satisfactorily. 
Ground 
While the 
first cost is greater than seeding, which needs repeated sowing every season, the ground cover plants, 
especially Pachysandra or Spurge and Myrtle, remain constant, needing very little after care once they 
are planted, resulting in a saving over a term of years and a permanent green covered area both Sum- 
mer and Winter. 
As a rule, the soil under trees is poor and contains very little humus “known as plant food,” which 
is necessary for all plants to grow satisfactorily. 
Soil Preparation . 
We advise digging the soil to a depth of 6-7 inches, add 2-3 inches of Manure partly decomposed 
and 2 inches of Peat Moss or Leaf Mold, and sand, if soil is heavy. Dig well again and thoroughly mix all 
together. Add an inch of Peat Moss or Leaf Mold and work in lightly on surface. 
Plant firmly and water plants well so the roots and soil come in close contact, resulting in immediate 
growth. Water at intervals until plants are well started.
