The creeping thymes are in-

flagstones. Also of value for 
dry rock walls. They are 
easily grown in any dry, 
sunny location.

ered with clouds of white 
flowers. A fine creeper to 
run over rocks. Each 20c,

bum. Presents a most de¬ 
lightful sight when literally

Trillium (wake-robin). 
Beautiful woodland plants, 
growing naturally in moist

mer when plant has died 
down. May also be success¬ 
fully planted in early spring 
before new growth takes 
place. Very highly recom¬ 
mended for naturalizing in 
colonies in woods.
