ARCTOSTAPHYLOS Uva-ursi 
(Bearberry) 
A most interesting story about bears and their 
fondness for the grape-like berries of this plant Is 
responsible for its common name. Handicapped 
by its botanical name, this useful low-growing, 
gray-green-foliaged ground-cover has not been as 
popular as it deserves to be. For covering rocky 
slopes and sandy banks, very few plants can 
equal it for effectiveness. Large established 
plants in 34%-inch pots, 3 for $1.50; 10 for $4.50; 
25 for $10.50; 50 for $20.00.
