“Hardy Ground (overs 
and (Climbing Vines 
Here is a class of most attractive plants which 
offer added beauty, new interest, and practical use- 
fulness. 
More and more in place of grass, such plants as 
Myrtle, Pachysandra, English Ivy, Heather, Bear- 
berry, and Ferns are used for permanent ground- 
cover planting in shade where grass does not do well, 
and also to cover open soil among taller plants. 
Trailing vines such as Euonymus, Honeysuckle, 
and trailing Roses, properly planted and controlled, 
and also collected turfs of native ground-cover plants 
serve well to improve barren slopes and eliminate 
erosion. 
Climbing vines like the Ivies, Clematis, Wistaria, 
Roses, the fast growing Fleece Vine and others are 
good investments, most desirable for cover and 
flower beauty on buildings, trellises, fences and walls.
