VERONICA LONGIFOLIA 
VENOSA (HARDY VERBENA) 
VERONICA (Ver-on’-i-ka)—Speedwell 
A family whose value is greatiy underrated. For rockeries, 
walls, banks, edging, etc., the dwarf members of the great 
clan are of outstanding importance, All are of the very 
easiest culture and bloom with such abandon as to rank 
them, in our opinion, among the very best of low growing 
plants. The taller sorts are useful in the border and their 
spikes of bloom work nicely in mixed bouquets.

little Juniper. 12”. 
*Crater Lake Blue—12” deep Gentian blue.

YUCCA FILAMENTOSA 
VINCA (Vin’-ka)—Periwinkle 
A very useful and ornamental evergreen vine quickly 
forming a dense ground cover of glossy foliage. Its adapta- 
bility to both sun and shade make it extremely useful. It 
flourishes under trees where grass will not grow and on 
steep banks it will make a tidy evergreen lawn that does 
not need to be mowed. It is used extensively in cemetery 
plantings and should find a home on every wall or large 
rockery.

colored leaves and very double red flowers. Perfectly 
hardy anywhere.

scarce. A lovely sort in great demand.

and deeper blue. A profuse bloomer.
