TRAILING VINES FOR. COVERING GROUND 
IN SHADED PLACES. 
There is a Constantly Growing Demand for an effective covering for bare places on lawns 
and in places where the shade is too dense for the growth of lawn grass. In many places the effect 
of bare earth in a lawn or border of turf is sufficient to mar the harmonious colorings and ap¬ 
pearance of the entire grounds. By the planting of the hardy creeping vines a solid covering can soon 
be formed that obviates this unpleasant effect. 
The Following are the best of the trailing vines of creeping habit used for this purpose. All 
can be readily transplanted and easily grown. 
Prices for Strong Plants or clumps, $2 and $3 per dozen; from $5 to $25 per 100, according 
to size and variety, and specially low prices per 1
