GROUND COVERS 



There are many uses for this class of plant, or rather many places where 

 such plants can be used for the same purpose, namely, to cover the ground. 

 Sometimes it is difficult to maintain grass in a certain spot, or it may be in- 

 convenient to cut it; also the bare earth between the shrubbery should 

 be covered. Again, a planting may be desired in a place where tall shrubbery 

 would break a good view. For all such instances the plants recommended 

 in the following list are particularly adapted.
