Polygonum—Silver Lace Vine 
Clematis Coccinea Texensis 
Hardy Baltica 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 2%-inch pot plants 
offered are very economical.

perfect small Ivy for small shady places and it is a superb little plant 
to grow indoors in ornamental containers. We offer nicely grown plants

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 Ivy (Hedera helix gracilis), see 
illustration on page 131. Baltica Ivy will evitbetand 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.

sweet scented vines we have.
