Pachysandra Growing Luxuriantly in Deep Shade 
Polygonum Reynowtria (Dwarf Polygonum) 
This handsome ground cover was introduced a few years ago by Amos 
Perry, one of England’s oldest and best known plantsmen. It is of easy 
culture, very hardy, and establishes itself quite rapidly from underground 
runners. It does best in full sun and its pale green foliage turns brilliant 
red in the autumn. Height is between 4 and 8 inches, and in the fall pro- 
duces numerous airy pink sprays. of flowers not unlike those of the ‘Silver 
Lace Vine.’ The buds are deep red, adding much to its charm. One of the 
best ground covers for sunny places where Vinca and Pachysandra would 
not be satisfactory. Plants should be spaced 18 inches apart. 
Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00, 100 $32.50

shrubs close to walks. Being of slower growth, it cannot be sold for the 
same price as the common type. We supply strong plants in pots any 
time of the year.

Chree Inexpensive Plants 
for Covering Large Banks 
ROSA WICHURAIANA 
Each $1.25, Three $3.15, Doz. $12.50 
Almost evergreen, the Wichuraiana or Memorial Rose trails 
along the ground, making a green, glossy mat covering a wide 
area. The flowers are produced in late July or August, in big 
sprays or panicles. They are pure white, semi-double or single, 
with an enormous center of brilliant yellow stamens. This is by 
far the most useful Rose for covering banks and slopes because 
of its close, clinging habit and its tendency to root wherever it 
tcuches the ground. Rosa Wichuraiana is the parent of practi- 
cally all our modern hybrid climbing Roses, but is by far the 
best for its own particular purpose. 
LONICERA HALLIANA 
Ground Covering Size, Doz. $5.50, 100 $25.09, 1000 $225.00 
Aside from being a favorite vine for both sunny and shady 
porches, Hall’s Honeysuckle is extensively used for covering 
banks. Its growth is rapid and because it roots deeply is an ex- 
cellent plant to prevent washing of soil. The fragrant flowers 
produced almost all summer long greatly add to its charm. It 
may also be used to cover semi-shady places in woods. May be 
planted in spring and fall. Plants should be spaced 18 inches 
apart. 
EUONYMUS ACUTA 
Ground Covering Size, Doz. $5.75, 100 $30.09, 1000 $275.00 
One of our favorite ground covering plants and also a great 
favorite with our customers. It is a fine prostrate, rapidly 
spreading vine; makes a smooth, shiny, dark, evergreen carpet, 
hardy anywhere, dense enough to prevent weeds from coming 
up through it. Does equally well in full sun, semi-shade or deep 
shade. Euonymus Acuta is tops with us for covering large areas 
or banks.
