VINCA (The Myrtle) 
The most satisfactory, showy, trouble-free of all 
ground covers. The leaf is small, shiny, dark green 
all year round. Even in full shade, the leaves grow 
thickly. It spreads by underground roots. To be sure 
of coverage within (say) 2 years, we recommend a large area, but on banks it 
spacing 15 in. apart. There are blue flowers, showy 
and cheerful, all spring long and the plant will grow 
and thrive in any soil including barren sand or clay 
banks. Planting—Clumps come tied compactly. Untie 
and spread out when planting. (25) (100) (1000)
