Polygonum Reynoutria (Dwarf Polygonum) 
This handsome ground cover was introduced a few years ago by Amos 
Perry, one of England’s oldest and best known plantsmen. It is of easy 
culture, very hardy, and establishes itself quite rapidly from underground 
runners. It does best in full sun and its pale green foliage turns brilliant 
red in the autumn. Height is between 4 to 6 inches, and in the fall pro- 
duces numerous airy pink sprays of flowers not unlike those of the ‘Silver 
Lace Vine.” The buds are deep red, adding much to its charm. One of the 
best ground covers for sunny places where Vinca and Pachysandra would 
not be satisfactory.

for Covering Large Banks 
ROSA WICHURAIANA 
Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Almost evergreen, the Wichuraiana or Memorial Rose trails along the 
ground, making a green, glossy mat covering a wide area. The flowers 
are produced in late July or August, in big sprays or panicles. They 
are pure white, semi-double or single, with an enormous center of 
brilliant yellow stamens. This is by far the most useful Rose for cov- 
ering banks and slopes because of its close, clinging habit and _ its 
tendency to root wherever it touches the ground. Rosa Wichuraiana is 
the parent of practically all our modern hybrid climbing Roses, but is 
by far the best for its own particular purpose. 
LONICERA HALLIANA 
Ground Covering Size, Doz. $5.25, 100 $25.00, 1000 $225.00 
Aside from being a favorite vine for both sunny and shady porches, 
Hall’s Honeysuckle is extensively used for covering banks. Its growth 
is rapid and because it roots deeply is an excellent plant to prevent 
washing of soil. The fragrant flowers produced almost all summer long 
greatly add to its charm. It may also be used to cover semi-shady 
places in woods. May be planted in spring and fall. Plants should be 
spaced 18 inches apart. 
POLYGONATUM MULTIFLORUM MAJOR 
Each 55c, Three $1.45, Doz. $4.50, 100 $20.00 
Pendent sprays of delightfully fragrant white flowers borne on long, 
2-foot stems in May, followed in autumn with black or purple berries. A 
grand plant for a shady position, does equally well in sun. Use in masses 
under trees where nothing else wiil grow. It makes a magnificent ground 
cover. Its dignified appearance all summer gives that difficult untidy 
shady spot a new trim look. Plants multiply rapidly, forming a solid 
carpet. Hardy as an oak, will grow anywhere. 
EUONYMUS ACUTA

One of our favorite ground covering plants and also a great favorite 
with our customers. It is a fine prostrate, rapidly spreading vine; makes 
a smooth, shiny, dark, evergreen carpet, hardy anywhere, dense enough 
to prevent weeds from coming up through it. Does equally well in full 
sun, semi-shade or deep shade. Euonymus Acuta is tops with us for
