SPREADING EUONYMUS (Willis Strain) 
The most versatile and useful hardy broad leaf evergreen. 
Euonymus Patens usually exhibits a wide variation in foliage 
and habit of growth. The Willis strain, which is the result of many 
years of observation and selection has medium size rounded bright 
green shiny leaves and it grows rapidly and naturally into uniform, 
bushy, highly ornamental plants. Some seasons its beauty is enhanced 
by the production of attractive orange-red fruits that resemble those 
of the bittersweet. 
Its uses are many: 
Hedges—from one foot to 6 feet high. Excellent for edging formal 
plantings, rose gardens etc. 
Screen Plantings—grows naturally to 6 or 8 feet. 
Foundation Plantings—especially desirable when plants of low or 
intermediate height are wanted. 
Mass Plantings on lawns and to mark entrances. 
Covering foundations, walls and chimneys. Clings to brick, stone 
and stucco without support. 
For planting in very narrow areas where there is not sufficient 
room for ordinary shrubs. Can easily be kept in bounds by 
shearing. 
Good substitute for Boxwood. 
Formal Plantings--shears readily into formal shapes. 
Adds interest to ordinary shrub or evergreen plantings. 
Background plantings for annual and perennial gardens. 
Transplants easily and grows rapidly. Starts growing early in the 
spring and is just about the last thing to stop growing in the fall. 
Always pleases the customer.
