Euonymus radicans coloratus (Purple leat Wintercreeper) 
A trailing evergreen form of unsurpassed merit. Can be used effectively as a 
ground cover, or to train against wall or rocks in natural beauty. The foliage 
which is always good, is at the height of its glory when in the autumn it takes 
on the rich colorings of red and bronze that are carried through the winter. 
Very hardy.

Gaultheria procumbens (Wintergreen) 
This is the little plant which produces the true wintergreen flavor and from 
which wintergreen oil is extracted. There is nothing with which it can be com- 
pared for the reason that it is in a class by itself. It is a sturdy, hardy little sub- 
ject flourishing northward into Canada and well to the southward particularly 
in elevated regions. The tiny leaves are nicely rounded, deep green and glossy and 
take on rich shadings of deep red in the autumn. Grows to a height of only 4 to 
6 inches but produce a matted ground covering. Bears bright red berries in 
great abundance. These berries, which are edible, remain on the plants until the 
following summer. Children often take delight in gathering them as well as the 
tender young leaves for their sweet wintergreen flavor. When food is scarce in 
the winter season they form a part of the food of game birds. The fine foliage, 
the small, delicate, pink, bell-shaped flowers, the brilliant red berries and _ its 
hardiness combine to make it one without peer in its class. To know this delight- 
ful little plant is to admire and love it and it should occupy a place in every 
garden where it will grow. Along with its other merits it is easy to handle.

Genista hispanica (Spanish Broom) 
Sometimes called Spanish Gorse. Exceedingly dense rounded evergreen about 2 
feet high spreading 3 to 4 feet. Shapely and attractive in the flower and in the 
foliage which conceals numerous thin sharp spines. Like the tiger’s velvety paw, 
the fine foliage completely conceals the ferocious claws hidden underneath. Hardy 
and has unexcelled merit for special plantings. A splendid shrub.
