for shady places where grass is not satisfactory 
There’s no need to despair over making attractive the 
shady places under trees and other places where grass won’t

HARDY BALTICA AND ENGLISH IVY 
The famous English Ivy with its familiar evergreen, glossy foliage, 
requires winter protection in cold sections of the country where it is 
exposed to chilly winds on open walls. It can, however, be planted 
with perfect safety as a ground cover or as an edging to flower beds 
anywhere. Gracilis is perfectly hardy and we recommend its use on 
the north side and west side of buildings and walls or in shady places 
or as a ground cover under trees in dense shade. The 24-inch pot 
plants offered are very economical. 
ENGLISH IVY—Hedera helix 
A lovely vine as well as a splendid ground cover. Its beautiful shiny 
leaves make a wonderful ground cover in densest shade.
