BIG-LEAF WINTERCREEPER 
(Euonymus Vegetus). The most useful sub- 
ject in the plant kingdom. Thrives where noth- 
ing else seems to grow. Climbs over rocks, 
stone fences, and low foundations. May be 
used as a vine against a stone wall or on a 
trellis. With judicious pruning, it will produce 
one of the finest of low-growing, broad hedges. 
As a specimen plant it is superb. Was not 
even injured in the severe 1947-48 winter. The 
lush evergreen foliage is set off in the spring 
by tiny, attractive yellowish flowers. In the 
fall the glory of the orange and red Bitter- 
sweet-like fruit is unsurpassed. Husky, 2-yr. 
plants, $1.00 each; $2.75 for 3; $8.00 for 10. 
Larger, 12 to 15 inch specimen plants, $1.75 
each; $4.50 for 3.

(Polygonum Auberti). While this lovely plant is normally a vine and will give

ground cover or to hide unsightly stumps, rock piles, etc. The foliage is a good 
shade of green to the very end and the fluffy, cream-white flowers are borne in 
Even the seed pods that follow them are 
most attractive. Plants will often grow as much as 20 feet in a single year and 
are quite easily trimmed to keep them from getting out of bounds.

er plants should be 
handled in a man- 
ner similar to that

both prefer a defi- 
nitely acid (sour) 
soil.
