The evergreen Euonymus group provides 
some of our hardiest broadleaf evergreen 
vines, ground covers and shrubs. Fortunately, 
there are a number of excellent forms so that 
one can use them for clothing walls, covering 
embankments, creating dense, verdant hedg- 
es or for charming low or medium size foun- 
dation shrubs. We have selected four forms 
which we believe represent the best in this 
useful and ornamental family. 
SHRUB FORM FORTUNE’S EUVONYMUS (Euonymus 
fortunei erecta). This lovely little shrub is quite 
distinct from the evergreen bittersweet types. It 
rarely bears fruit and must be appreci- 
ated for its elegance of foliage and form. 
Where one requires a low, restricted ev- 
ergreen hedging or edging, or a refined 
dwarf shrub, it is a plant of unusual 
merit. 
8 to 12 inches, Ten $10.00 
WILD’S COLUMNAR EVERGREEN EUONY- 
MUS (Euonymus fortunei wild). Here is 
a form of wintercreeper equally as good 
as Martin’s Selection but instead of grow- 
ing as a vine or low shrub it grows up- 
Fortune's Euonymus 
MARTIN’S SELECTION EVERGREEN 
BITTERSWEET or BIG-LEAF 
WINTERCREEPER 
(Euonymus fortunei vegeta) 
The most versatile of evergreens, this plant may 
be used as a low hedge, a spreading plant in an ever- 
green planting or a wall-hugging vine. Distinguished 
right in @ columnar fashion not unlike 
Hick’s Yew. It is an excellent grower 
either in sun or shade and is useful for 
creating a trim, narrow hedge or an up- 
right columnar specimen. It tolerates hot 
dry situations and in fact, it will grow 
most anywhere. If planted 30 inches 
away from a building, the plant will re- 
main upright. If placed close to the struc- 
ture it will have a tendency to attach 
itself and climb, fingering over the 
building as a light vine. Completely 
hardy. It has been developed and intro- 
duced by Wild Bros. of Missouri and we 
feel it should bear their name. 
8 to 12 inches, 2-year, heavy, 
Each $1.50, Three $4.25, Ten $12.50. 
Hedging Size, Ten for $10.00 
by glossy, round, dark green leaves which remain 
throughout the winter, its berries resemble those of 
bittersweet and are borne in profusion. It will grow 
well in limestone or acid soils, is hardy, and serves as a 
good soil-binder for banks. 
Our selection of this splendid evergreen was dis- 
covered by Chester Martin at Old Lyme, Connecticut, 
growing on an ancient stone wall, deep in the Con- 
necticut hills. The leaves are darker and more leathery 
than other introductions of this vine we have tested. 
12-inch, well-branched plants, Each $2.00, Three $5.50 
Doz. $18.00 
Wild‘s Columnar Euonymus Euonymus Vegeta 
WINTERBERRY (Euonymus patens (Kiautschevica). Another choice shrub that can be kept small 
enough to be used ini the foundation planting of the small home or ranch-type house, the Winter- 
berry fulfills a long-felt need. Its uses are many, and include hedging, screen and mass plantings, 
formal plantings (it may be readily sheared), covering for foundations, walls and chimneys, and 
as a substitute for Boxwood. Dark green foliage, white flowers in spring and orange-red berries 
in autumn add to its charm. It grows equally well in acid or alkaline soils, and is one of the last 
things to stop growing in the fall. 
10 to 12 inches, well-branched, Each $1.15, Ten $10.00, 25 $22.50, 100 $85.00
