Do you have places where grass won’t grow or where it’s hard to mow? 
Solve your problem the easy way with carefree Ground Cover plants. Once 
planted and established, these good-looking evergreen plants spread and 
cover the area thickly, giving you a carpet of green where once you struggled 
to maintain grass. In Ajuga Reptans, English Ivy, Max Graf Rose, Pachy- 
sandra and Vinca Minor, we offer you what we know are five of the better, 
more beautiful and more practical kinds. Using one or more of these 
according to your need will not only care for your ground cover problem 
but also add a great deal to the beauty of your property. Endless stretches 
of lawn grass can be monotonous. It is good landscaping practice to break 
up or relieve such areas with good ground cover plants. Plant them under 
trees, on banks, along walks, under shrubbery. 
AJUGA REPTANS (Carpet Bugle) does well in sun or partial 
shade and spreads quickly, forming a dense carpet. From early 
May to mid-June, it produces upright spikes of gay blue flowers 
giving you a profusion of colorful eye-catchers rising above the 
mass of flat, bright green leaves. This is an excellent, perennial 
ground cover which is evergreen, with lustrous foliage almost all 
the year. Plant about 10 inches apart. 5 plants for $2.60; 
10 for $4.90; 50 for $21.50. 
ENGLISH IVY makes one of the most satisfactory ground 
covers—a hardy plant that grows fast and spreads vigorously. 
It will grow in densest shade or in sun, its beautiful shiny leaves 
literally covering the area with a wonderful green carpet. When 
planted 8 inches apart, English Ivy makes short work of ridding 
you of your problem area. The illustration belows shows a typical 
planting and gives you a good idea of the effect. 5 rooted cut- 
tings for 75c; 10 for $1.30; 50 for $5.50; 100 for $9.50.
