TWO SPLENDID GROUND COVERS FOR 
DIFFICULT SOILS 
VINCA Alpina. Small pointed leaves on closely trailing stems 
which quickly spread by runners to give a solid ground 
cover. Flowers are a hard to describe shade which I would 
call a dark reddish purple, odd but attractive. Foliage has 
a ruddy tint from late summer to spring. 30 cts. each; 
3 for 75 cts.; 15 for $2.50; 50 for $3.75, 
VINCA Minor Alba. Smallish leaves of emerald-green closely 
set on trailing stems that quickly root at joints to give a 
solid cover. Flower white. Each 30 cts.; 3 for 75 cts.; 
15 for $2.50. Divisions, 50 for $3.75. 
You can quickly increase your ground cover by plucking 
out and planting the rooted stems. It takes some moisture to 
establish a cover of Vinca but once thoroughly matted they 
will go through the driest summer almost bone dry, although 
more luxuriant with moderate moisture. Stand even heavy 
shade. For finest effect shear off to the ground in early 
spring before new growth starts.
