MINOR. — Known also as Trailing Myrtle. A creeper 

 of shrubby habit but so largely planted with Hardy Per-

 quickly produces a dense carpet of foliage. It retains 

 its glossj", deep green leaves throughout the year and 

 presents in spring and early summer, a blanket of bright 

 blue flowers. Much used for covering graves and of 

 special value for carpeting under shrubs and in groves 

 of trees where grass will not grow. It is also of great 

 value for holding steep banks to prevent washing, and 

 is exceedingly attractive in foliage at all seasons of the
