C. SHADY LOCATIONS. The following group of plants contains 

 only the most common types which have proved successful for ground 

 cover under large trees and in heavily shaded situations on lawns. 

 It is best for most of these plants to have as a basis for their growth 

 good soil, although some of them, such as the periwinkle and the Japa- 

 nese spurge, will grow under extreme conditions of light soil with little 

 moisture. For the greatest success with this list of plants they should 

 be well moistened during dry spells. For supplementary infor- 

 mation on ground-cover plants, in shaded locations, see sub-group No.
