GROUND-COVER PLANTS 
GROUND-COVERS are just what their name implies— 
they cover the ground. Some spread by sending out 
trailers that take root, some have roots that spread and 
send up new top growth, and others merely grow more 
or less procumbent, spreading out as they eNlarge to 
cover a greater area of ground each year. Many, such 
as the Rose Daphne and the Heathers, have beautiful 
flowers. ‘The Evergreens and Broadleaf Evergreens car- 
pet the ground with green throughout the year. 
May we help you with your selection of a ground cover 
that will suit your particular location and conditions.
