KINNI-KINNICK (Bearberry) is a trailing 
evergreen only a few inches high with small 
bright green leathery leaves, fine beneath 
trees and shrubs or draped over sandy hanks 
and rocks. From the central root it forms an 
ever-widening green carpet inlaid in early 
spring with waxy pink flowers and in winter 
with bright red berries. Once established it 
thrives in both shade and sun, and makes a 
fine rock garden plant. Its common use is 
limited by lack of young plants and a mis¬ 
taken notion that it needs acid soil. Tapes¬ 
tries 20 feet across thrive in neutral or alka¬ 
line soil in the west. With us young plants 
do well in open ordinary soil. Roadside speci¬ 
men is shown below. 
Our sturdy two-year cultivated plants with 
6 to 12 inch runners are easily replanted and 
grow vigorously. 
REMEMBER: Broad leafed evergreens 
grow slowly, hut their spread and beauty in¬ 
crease for many years. Expect little top 
growth till roots are well established. The 
earlier you plant, the better the growth.
