Htardy Baltica and English Ivy 
The famous English Ivy with its familiar evergreen, glossy foliage, 
requires winter protection in cold sections of the country where it is 
exposed to chilly winds on open walls. It can, however, be planted with 
perfect safety as a ground cover or as an edging to flower beds any- 
where. Gracilis is perfectly hardy and we recommend its use on the 
north side and west side of buildings and walls or in shady places or 
as a ground cover under trees in dense shade. The 21-inch pot plants 
offered are very economical.

For Covering Walls 
The well known English Ivy with its shiny, evergreen, glossy foliage is not 
suited for the northern parts of this country as a wall covering. It is lovely 
on the walls throughout the south, but its use should be carefully con- 
sidered north of Washington, D. C. 
The north wail of our office building in Mentor, Ohio, is completely 
covered with a fine form of the Baltica_Ilvy (Hedera helix gracilis), see 
illustration on page 137. Baltica Ivy will withstand temperatures as low as 
10 degrees below zero but only when growing on north and west walls. 
Bright sunlight on east and south walls will kill it. For that position you'd 
better use Climbing Hydrangea or Boston Ivy for solid covering or its 
miniature form, the variety Lowi if a tracery effect is preferred.

Cuonymus “Radicans Vegelus 
The Plant of a Hundred Uses! 
The Most Useful of All Evergreens 
If planted at the base of a tree (see illustration on page 121), it 
will climb and cover a tree trunk or post in a very few years. Color 
illustration on page 120 shows how it quickly covered an old stump as 
well as produced berries in the autumn. If planted in shade, it is just 
as happy as in full sun and vice versa. Any soil suits it. If planted 
between evergreens or shrubs, its glossy evergreen leaves provide fine 
contrast and are green in the winter. When no support is offered, it 
does not climb and a “‘pinch back” here and there will keep it in good 
shrublike form. 
If planted between low growing things in front of the house or porch 
in sun or shade, it will always be the plant that catches your eye in 
winter or summer. There are dozens of places in your garden corners 
near the house or garage where you would like to see a nice green 
plant. We say “Use Euonymus radicans vegetus.”’ It is one of the 
nicest and most useful plants for your garden, be it Portland, Maine 
or Portland, Oregon. Hundreds of our customers are telling us how 
pleased they are with the fine show these plants make in their garden. 
We urge you to use Euonymus vegetus where other things have not 
filled the bill.
