This is one of the finest ground covering plants from the South. Com- 
ing from the North Carolina mountains, it is perfectly hardy. The 
handsome, round, evergreen leaves turn a lovely bronze in the autumn. 
They are used by the hundreds of thousands by florists all over the 
country. Does not grow over a foot high. You will like them as a 
pleasant change from Vinca or Japanese Spurge. 
GERANIUM - Crane’s-bill 
Those offered are very interesting plants for growing on the margins of 
sunny borders or in the rock garden. 
Culture. Ordinary light or medium soil and a sunny position will suit 
these plants admirably. They should be grown in groups on the margins 
of borders or in the rockery. Plant in autumn or spring, 8 to 12 inches 
apart. Once established do not disturb, then they will grow and flower 
with great freedom, and produce a pretty effect the entire summer.

GEUM - Avens 
They belong among the number one hardy garden flowers. Neat in habit, 
non-crowding, excellent foliage effect when not in bloom. Such virtues 
along with their charming flowers all help to make them popular. In the 
foreground of the hardy border they look their best. Fire Opal, Lady 
Stratheden, and Rijnstroom, all recently introduced, are excellent and 
quite hardy, although for very cold sections of the country we would 
suggest Potentillas be used in their place. They, as the Geums, are noted 
for their fine foliage and good habit when not in bloom. 
Culture. All succeed in good, ordinary soil in sunny borders. They, how- 
ever, require plenty of moisture in summer. Best grown in groups. Plant 
in autumn or spring, 6 to 8 inches apart. If planted in fall it is well to 
protect them carefully for the winter.
