fects of a white-clover lawn, though forming a more 

 compact mass, and not requiring the use ot a lawn- 

 mower." It is not suited to densely shaded lawns, and 

 will no* endure excessive tramplings. 



The plant is propngated by cuttings. The best time 

 for planting is "during the spring or summer months, 

 when, if well watered, it will be almost certain to se- 

 cure a good, start." The publication by the Arizona 

 station of information regarding this plant has arous- 

 ed much local interest, resulting in a quite extensive 

 distribution of plants by this station to persons wish- 

 ing to try it.— J'a> mers' Bulletin i6<). 



I found the lippias in two or three places 

 in California. Prof. Frank Benton, who 

 was with us, said, if I am correct, that the 

 carpet fjrass, of which so much has been 

 said of late, is veaAly Lippia repens instead 

 of I.ippia Tiodiflofa. At Saflford, Graham 

 Co., Ariz., one of the bee-keepers, a Mr. 

 Jefferson, had his dooryard planted with 

 the lippia. He set out his plants, I think, 

 last sprinfi^, and the older ones made a thick 

 carpet of beautiful foliage covering- nearly 

 a square yard each. It propagates some- 

 thing like the strawberrj'-plant. The ques- 

 tion is often asked, "Would it stand our 

 Northern climate? " The article we have 

 copied indicates, if I am correct, that it 

 would stand ten degrees above zero. I think 

 with some protection such as straw or 

 strawy manure it might stand over winter 

 here in the East. Can somebody tell us 

 more about it?
