ORNAMENTAL STRAWBERRY—For best results mow once each year, in late spring. 
GROUND 
Ajuga reptans. An indispensable ground cover for shaded 
locations as it will flourish under trees where grass will not 
grow. The plant roots as it grows, spreading a thick carpet 
of medium sized bronzy-green leaves. In spring a generous 
sprinkling of 2-inch blue spikes provide an added attraction. 
Flats of 100 plants, $4.50. 
ORNAMENTAL STRAWBERRY 
Fragaria chiloensis. This handsome glossy green cover is 
being used quite extensively because of its hardiness and 
pleasing all year appearance. It spreads rapidly and thor- 
oughly and requires little attention except watering. In 
spring it is almost hidden by countless thousands of small 
single snowy white flowers. From October until March we 
can supply well rooted divisions bare root at $3.50 per hun- 
dred; $22.50 per thousand. Flats of 100 plants, $5.00.

are ideal. We grow about 25 ol the better varieties. Combine them with begonias, primroses, saxifragas, 
cyclamen and other shade-loving flowering plants—they will lend a true aristocratic touch to your garden.
