Evonymus radicans vegetus 
BIG-LEAF WINTERCREEPER OR 
EVERGREEN BITTERSWEET 
Location: Sun or shade. 
Soil: Any good garden soil. 
Ultimate Height: 15 to 25 feet. 
This evergreen variety of the Euonymus fami- 
ly is valuable as a vine or ground cover plant 
but may also be shaped into a low evergreen 
hedge or specimen accent plant. Also use it 
for covering stumps, gate posts, porches or as 
facer shrubs in front of taller growing ever- 
greens. Will grow equally well in sun or 
shade and it is one of the hardiest evergreen 
vines we know. Older plants of Euonymus 
or plants growing on poor soil will produce 
an abundance of bright orange berries like 
those of the deciduous Bittersweet vine. 
Planting Distance: 12 to 24 inches as 
ground covers. 4 to 12 feet on walls or 
fences, or plant singly.

HOW TO GROW CLEMATIS 
Clematis, especially the hybrids, prefer 
a rich, well drained loam. Prepare 
heavy garden soil to a depth of two 
feet by adding sand and peat moss. Mix 
well and also add some well rotted 
manure, if available. Set plants with 
their crown 2 to 3 inches below the 
ground level. If planted in a sunny 
location, keep the soil around them 
cool with a mulch of peat or well de- 
cayed manure or leaves. Apply a small 
amount of lime in areas where the soil 
conditions are generally on the acid 
side. They require supports, such as 
trellis, wire, etc. In the fall, hill some ~ 
earth around the stems and protect the 
ground around them with a mulch of 
peat, hay or leaves.
