LABIATAE 
The following plants in the mint family are long suffering; they like 
half-shade and cool soil; they will endure the opposite: 
Ajuga metallica crispa. A slow-growing variety; purple-red crinkled 
leaves and 6 in. spikes of gentian-blue flowers. 40c. 
Thymus. The thymes, mostly subshrubs from the Mediterranean region, 
are splendid plants for dry walls and banks, and good for carpeting 
among stones and unconsidered places and for covering bulbs, if that 
is a need. Very floriferous. 
Thymus erectus. Erect little shrub with green bead-like leaves. Bluish- 
white flowers. 35c. 
T. erlcaefolius. Compact heather-like brassy-gold bushlet; rose-red flow- 
ers. 25c. 
T. nitidus. Erect but close; cinerous leaves; fragrant little shrub; com- 
pletely submerged in flesh-pink flowers in June. 35c. 
Rosmarinus officinalis prostratus. A very nice tiny edition of the com- 
mon rosemary or “sea-dew” with small thick gray leaves revolute at 
the edges; pale violet flowers, the whole more or less procumbent. 50c.
