Lippia Repens for Lawns 
Two new forms never before available 
The Lippias are closely related to the 
Lantanas and the Verbenas and include 
a number of plants quite dissimilar in 
appearance. It is a low spreading plant 
having the habit of rooting from runners 
when originally started from plant or 
seed. It forms a thick mass and has 
great value for lawns requiring as it 
does only about one-tenth the care and 
one-tenth the water needed for any other 
lawn. These varieties originated from 
seed_ of some native plants sent from 
Chili. Some variations were observed 
among the original seedlings, and these 
34 
bank seed farm, Broadmoor 
are the result of painstaking care on 
the part of Mr. Burbank in producing 
them. They make a most beautiful dark 
green close-growing lawn. The foliage 
is very small, closely placed on slender 
stems, and is of a pleasing glossy dark 
green color. These varieties will produce 
a close rich dark green lawn in six 
weeks if planted during the warm sum- 
mer months, and will keep in good con- 
dition longer than any blue grass or 
clover lawn and with one-tenth the care, 
water, weeding, mowing and other ex- 
penses which the ordinary lawn requires. 
If left all summer without mowing the 
lawn makes a rich bee pasture, resemb- 
ling some of the handsome low-growing 
clovers. If mowed once or twice it has 
the general appearance of a blue grass 
lawn, being soft and yielding to the 
tread like a fine axminister carpet. It 
is difficult to produce the lippias from 
seed and therefore we offer as being the 
most satisfactory well-rooted plants which 
should be planted about a foot apart
