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 
compared for the reason that it is in a class by itself. It is a sturdy, hardy 
little subject 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 produces a matted ground covering. Bears 
bright red berries in great abundance. These berries, which are edible, re- 
main on the plants until the following summer. Children often take delight 
in gathering them as well as the tender young leaves for their sweet winter- 
green 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 delightful little plant is to ad- 
‘mire 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 splen- 
did shrub. 2

Hedera helix conglomerata (Bunchleaf English Ivy) 
Low growing. Leaves crowded, contorted and small, giving a pleasing 
massed effect, as the plant lies flat upon the ground. Foliage deep dense 
green. An interesting plant, which attracts much attention and one which 
makes a dense, compact ground cover. Very hardy. Also excellent for florist 
work.

JUNIPERUS (JUNIPERS) 
Juniperus chinensis pfitzeriana (Pfitzer Juniper) 
This well known juniper can scarcely be excelled for terrace and mass plant- 
ing. Upright training gives it a very individual habit of growth and greater 
range of landscape uses. It is hardy and a rapid, vigorous grower and 
thrives under adverse conditions of soil and climate. It has fine green foliage 
which with a little pruning forms a dense mass. Broadly spreading, reach- 
ing in older trees a diameter of 20 to 25 feet or more. Probably the most 
universal favorite of all junipers of its type.
