Euonymus radicans argenteo marginatus (Silveredge Wintercreeper] 
A variegated, low, procumbent shrub with often trailing and rooting or 
climbing branches. Very dense foliage, which presents a light appearance in 
summer, and a cheerful and particularly pleasing one, when in the winter 
season the variegation of the dainty leaves takes on charming tints of red 
and pink when flowers are scarce in the garden and a touch of color is wel- 
come. Dwarf and hardy. Height about 2 feet but will mass up against a wall 
to a height of 6 feet or more in old specimens.

Gaultheria procumbens (Wintergreen) 
This is the little plant which produces the true wintergreen flavor and from 
which wintergreen oil is extracted. There is nothing with which it can be 
compared for the reason that it is in a class by itself. It is a sturdy, hardy 
little subject flourishing northward into Canada and well to the southward 
particularly in elevated regions. The tiny leaves are nicely rounded, deep 
green and glossy and take on rich shadings of deep red in the autumn. Grows 
to a height of only 4 to 6 inches but produces a matted ground covering. Bears 
bright red berries in great abundance. These berries, which are edible, re- 
main on the plants until the following summer. Children often take delight 
in gathering them as well as the tender young leaves for their sweet winter- 
green flavor. When food is scarce in the winter season they form a part of 
the food of game birds. The fine foliage, the small, delicate, pink, bell- 
shaped flowers, the brilliant red berries and its hardiness combine to make it 
one without peer in its class. To know this delightful little plant is to ad- 
mire and love it and it should occupy a place in every garden where it will 
grow. Along with its other merits it is easy to handle.
