POLY GONUM (A New Ground Cover) 
Reynoutria. If you need a quick growing 
perennial ground cover for a sunny slope, this 
new polygonum will be most satisfactory. It 
grows only 4 to 6 inches high, spreading rapidly 
by underground runners. Foliage is light green 
turning a brilliant red in the fall. In late sum- 
mer it produces airy pink sprays of flowers 
similar to Silver Lace Vine to which it is 
closely related. One of the most attractive 
new perennials of recent introduction. 
65c each; 3 for $1.65; Doz. $6.00.
