Thyme is gaining in favor as a substitute for grass in lawns. For such use it has several 
distinct advantages as follows: It does not require mowing, just a clipping or rolling once 
or twice a year; it helps greatly in weed control where used, occupying the ground so 
completely that dandelions and other obnoxious weeds are mostly choked out; it forms a 
beautiful edge, creeping in around the shrubbery so that expensive and laborious edging 
is unnecessary; it has a delightful fragrance and attractive mats of bloom in various 
colors, adding beauty and variety to the surroundings; it is easier to maintain on steep 
slopes and terraces than grass; it requires much less watering than the ordinary lawn. 
In short it makes a solid carpet of pleasing growth which will last indefinitely, and with 
good variation according to the variety used. For lawn purposes plants should be set 
from 12 to 18 inches apart each way. In from one to two years the plantings will be a 
solid carpet. For this use we have made our prices extremely low. The following four 
varieties of serpyllum are best. All are hardy.
